Utah Museum of Contemporary Art to Host NCECA’s Three Cornerstone Exhibitions for 2025 Conference
SALT LAKE CITY, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) is honored to host the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts’ (NCECA) three flagship exhibitions as part of the 2025 NCECA Annual Conference, Formation, taking place March 26-29, 2025, at The Salt Palace Convention Center. The three cornerstone exhibitions at UMOCA include the 2025 NCECA Annual: True and Real, the 2025 NCECA Juried Student Exhibition, and the Multicultural Fellowship Exhibition, marking the first time all three cornerstone exhibitions will be presented within a single museum, just steps from the conference hub.
True and Real features the work of 40 artists, including invited artists Simone Leigh, Syd Carpenter, Roberto Lugo, Tip Toland, and Steven Young Lee. Curated by Judith S. Schwartz, this showcase examines the relationship between material, process, and personal truth in contemporary ceramic art. The 2025 NCECA Juried Student Exhibition, co-juried by Adrienne Eliades and Nicole Seisler, highlights the next generation of ceramic artists, while the Multicultural Fellowship Exhibition, juried by Jennifer Ling Datchuck, provides a platform for diverse voices shaping the future of the medium.
“These three cornerstone showcases for contemporary ceramic art anchor a more extensive series of opportunities to engage with creative vision and objects throughout the host region,” said NCECA Executive Director Joshua Green. “It is particularly profound that for the first time, all three of these significant exhibitions will be accessible in a single museum so close to the conference itself.”
“Like NCECA, we are deeply committed to supporting and investing in our community of artists, makers, educators, and students,” said UMOCA Curator of Exhibitions, Jared Steffensen. “The selections for these exhibitions reflect the depth and breadth of contemporary ceramic art and underscore the material’s ability to convey meaning in profound ways.”
The 2025 NCECA Annual: True and Real and Juried Student Exhibition will be on view from March 7 to May 31, 2025, and the Multicultural Fellowship Exhibition will be on view from March 7 to May 3, 2025, at UMOCA.
