APF Exhibition & Sale

The Wicked Wares of the Best

Annually, NCC extends invitations to artists representing rich lived experiences and varying artistic perspectives whose pots display a vast array of techniques, aesthetics, and materials. They range from familiar forms intended for everyday utility to boundary-challenging technical mastery to works about the communication of identity. The sale is a three-day event offering over 1,400 ceramic works. Every purchase supports NCC and our swarm of APF guest artists.

The sale begins Opening Night, Friday, September 6, from 6 - 9 PM CT (5 PM for members).

Works will be available for purchase online at 10 am CT on Saturday, September 7.

SHOP WITH OUR PERSONAL SHOPPING SERVICE
For those who can't attend APF in person and would like access to all of the work in the galleries at NCC (not just those offered online), we offer our personal shopping service. The registration deadline is Wednesday, August 28, but we encourage early registration. This service is free, but a $25 ticket fee will accompany work purchased on Friday. There is no ticket fee for artworks purchased on Saturday or Sunday should they still be available at that time.
