The Ash Street Project at NCECA
In case you haven't heard, NCECA (the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) is coming to Portland in March, bringing nearly 6,000 ceramic artists and educators to the area, and filling galleries and local sites with ceramic art. The Ash Street Project is in the throws of preparation. Our artists will be involved in workshops and exhibits throughout the city, and we will host several exhibits on site as well. Below you will find a list of these events. Please click on highlighted names and sights to learn more about times and locations. Though you will need a conference pass for many of the events at the convention center, there are still a number of interesting opportunities that are free and open to the public. Link to the NCECA site and schedule also below.
Please note that the Ash Street Project’s reception will be held from 6-9 on the Friday of conference week.
