The McKnight Residency is a 3-month program for mid-career ceramic artists. The program awards four ceramic artists yearly with a $6,000 award (for a three-month residency), a studio space, and a glaze and firing allowance. During the residency, each artist will present a public workshop, for which he or she will receive a small honorarium. At the culmination of the grant period, recipients will be featured in a catalogue and group exhibition at Northern Clay Center.
