Artist Services

Northern Clay Center is proud to support ceramic artists of all career stages, techniques, and backgrounds. We offer studio space for clay artists and manage several grant and residency programs.

Artist Studios

The facilities are designed to allow ceramic artists to work in an environment that encourages individual expression and artistic growth. NCC strives to include a mix of artists, spanning different stages of experience and specific expressions in clay. We aim for a lively working environment, where artists are encouraged to develop and exchange ideas with their peers. One of the ways NCC facilitates growth is through a unique accountability agreement which promotes activity in areas of professional development, advancement, and service.

NCC proudly facilitates grant programs for early career makers, current students or apprentices, recent graduates, and mid-career artists.

NCC encourages applicants who represent the full range of artistic styles, and is committed to supporting a diverse pool of artists whose work demonstrates strong artistic merit. Accordingly, awards for our grant programs will represent, as possible, artists and initiatives that are diverse in genre, expertise, gender, race, ethnicity, and geography.
