In the summer of 2024, NCC once again turned its exhibition spotlight on our incredibly talented members (comprising students, educators, professional artists, and novices) with a panel-curated exhibition. Membership is the only requirement for application.
In 2024, NCC hosted a panel-curated in-person exhibition in each gallery, showcasing the work of selected member-artists. Additionally, all submitted artwork was included in an online exhibition on NCC’s website, regardless of whether it was chosen for display in the galleries.

Important info
The artist is responsible for all shipping/transportation to and from NCC.
This exhibition will be curated by panelists. Applicants can submit up to two images of one piece that was created during the past two years. The work accepted for the exhibition MUST be the work submitted to the panel for consideration. Please only submit a work that has not been previously exhibited at NCC. Due to space constraints, and a desire to include as many members as possible, we must limit the size of any individual piece to 36” x 36” x 36”.
Please email us at nccinfo@northernclaycenter.org with questions about the exhibition or application process. We are happy to help!
