California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Arts Conference and Exhibitions

Experience a diverse assortment of ceramic art in one, central location! Downtown Davis transforms into a mecca of over fifty exhibitions within a four block radius, with an educational conference with lectures, workshops and demonstrations.

The annual Ceramics festival, hosted by the John Natsoulas Center for the Arts enters its 30th year and continues to bring the leading national and international ceramic artists to Northern California for a weekend of creative instruction and collaboration. This year’s conference will feature captivating lectures and hands-on demonstrations from celebrated artists: En Iwamura, Shenny Cruces, Gerit Grimm, Kevin Snipes, Michelle Gregor, Mark Burns , and Lisa Clague

Supplementing the weekend already full of ceramics enjoyment are the fifty exhibitions of ceramic art. The majority of these exhibitions feature universities and colleges throughout the entire state. No-where will you be able to see as many exhibitions in such a short amount of time than you can from April 27-29th in Davis, CA. Because the downtown area is intimately small and walkable, all of the events are near-by and easy to find, allowing more time spent enjoying the art and less time finding it!
