This year’s Curator, Elizabeth Bates, brings her rich experience from renowned institutions, including the Araluen Arts Centre and the Museum of Brisbane, ensuring a deeply engaging showcase.
Our distinguished panel of judges—Pedram Khosronrjad, socio-cultural visual anthropologist and Curator at Grafton Regional Gallery, and Vanessa Jacob, Senior Curator of Yarrila Arts and Museum—will be selecting work that exemplifies innovation, skill, and artistry. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your work celebrated among the finest ceramic creations in the region!
