2020 NCECA JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION

NCECA’s cornerstone exhibition was open to students currently in higher education programs throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. More than 300 artists submitted a total of nearly 1,000 images for consideration by ceramic artists Virginia Scotchie and Salvador Jiménez-Flores. Merit awards will be selected by the jurors and the final award list will be published here and on the NCECA website in the near future. Recent NJSE Exhibition Awards have included NCECA, company and organizationally sponsored cash prizes, and purchase awards.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION JURORS

Co-juror for the 2020 NCECA Juried Student Exhibition, Virginia Scotchie is head of ceramics at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. She holds a BFA in ceramics from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and completed her MFA at Alfred University in New York. Exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, Scotchie has received numerous awards including the Sydney Meyer Fund International Ceramics Premiere Award from the Shepparton Museum (Australia). She has lectured internationally and been an Artist in Residence in Taiwan, Italy, Australia, and the Netherlands. Her work is in public and private collections including the Yingge Ceramics Museum (Taiwan) and the FuLe International Ceramic Art Museums (China). Scotchie’s sculptural ceramics are abstracted from domestic objects and pottery, often considering the relationships between multiple parts to space that she envisions as a middle ground between the concrete reality of things made and their resulting meaning.

Salvador Jiménez-Flores is an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Jalisco, México. Since coming to the United States, Jiménez-Flores has contributed to the art scene by producing a mixture of socially conscious installation, public, and studio-based art. He has presented his work at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Grand Rapids Art Museum, Urban Institute of Contemporary Art, Bemis Center for Contemporary, Arts and Casa de la Cultura in Jalisco, México amongst others. Jiménez- Flores recently completed a two year-long artist residency at the Harvard Ceramics Program, Office of the Arts at Harvard University. Also he served as the Artist-In-Residence for the City of Boston. Jiménez-Flores is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grants, The New England Foundation for the Arts, and was awarded the Kohler Arts Industry Residency for 2019. He was recently appointed Assistant Professor in ceramics at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
