THE AUSTRALIAN CERAMICS ASSOCIATION
TACA is the peak body for ceramics in Australia with a growing membership of more than 1,600 spread across the country. The Association has strong networks and is in a healthy financial position. Membership is open to everyone interested in Australian ceramics, including professional ceramicists and potters, hobbyists, teachers, students, curators, collectors, writers, academics, and enthusiasts. Our members are the heart of our organisation.

TACA publishes The Journal of Australian Ceramics (JAC) three times a year, compiles a weekly enewsletter, creates educational resources, such as webinars on topics of interest, offers group public liability insurance, organises an annual open studio event and holds a selective exhibition for members every two years. TACA also oversees a national ceramics conference, the Australian Ceramics Triennale, and participates in other one-off events and programs.

MISSION STATEMENT
We advocate for and on behalf of our members, and our community, to strengthen ceramics in Australia.

We connect with established ceramic groups such as societies, clubs, study groups, and associations and with those who exhibit ceramics such as galleries, artist-run spaces, retail shops, online stores, and public institutions.

We value and support those who provide services and opportunities to ceramic practitioners, such as suppliers, competition organisers, artist residencies, workshops, classes, and tertiary ceramics education.

We reach out to the broader public to inspire, inform and connect people with Australian ceramics. We work to spread the excitement and passion of ceramics throughout Australia so that everyone has the opportunity to recognise, experience, and value ceramics in their daily lives.
