Ceramic Art Andenne calls for applications for the 2025 edition

Ceramic Art Andenne has become a not-to-be-missed event in the world of Belgian and international contemporary ceramics, and applications are now being accepted to exhibit at the next edition, to be held in Andenne (B) from May 17 to June 15, 2025.

It’s here! Ceramic Art Andenne is calling for applications for its 17th international contemporary ceramics competition! For this upcoming edition, which will take place in 2025, one of the exhibitions will focus on the theme of “Talisman”. It’s a fascinating theme to get carried away by. This will be your chance to explore all the mysteries, symbols and hidden powers of talismans through ceramics. If this theme does not inspire you, you can enter your best pieces for the free-themed exhibition.

During the competition, three prizes will be up for grabs! €2,500, €1,000, and €500 will be awarded to the ceramists selected for the free and thematic exhibitions. Last year, Nathalie Doyen (B) won the Grand Prix de la Céramique, and she will be honored with a solo exhibition in the Espace Muséal d’Andenne. This emblematic venue will also be hosting a second exhibition in collaboration with the new Ceramic Brussels fair, which takes place in January.

Artists are invited to submit their work using an online form on the Ceramic Art Andenne website (www.cermicartandenne.be) from now until October 13, 2024. The same website also contains all the information about the competition and the event.

An artistic gathering of enthusiasts

Ceramic Art Andenne isn’t just a competition; it’s a real artistic get-together for enthusiasts! In addition to the two exhibitions related to this international competition, you can visit seven other exhibitions in Andenne and the surrounding area. Each exhibition has its unique feature, whether it’s a guest country (Germany), a Belgian artist (Nathalie Doyen), or students from one of the country’s art schools. In addition, the Benelux members of the prestigious AIC (Académie Internationale de la Céramique) will be exhibiting in La Maison des Associations, and the prestigious Le Delta, in Namur, will be hosting an exhibition entitled “Alive & Unfolding”. The curator, Vasi Hirdo (Editor-in-Chief of Ceramics Now), will select around twenty artists from around the world for this exceptional exhibition, which will run until August 17, 2025.

This event always seeks to highlight the best of the world of ceramics. Ceramic Art Andenne also features an artist-in-residence and the resulting exhibition, as well as an international ceramics market over the Whitsun weekend. It’s an event that families can enjoy, too, with many activities organized for children.

Exceptional exhibitions, lectures, performances, guided tours, Céram’café… Ceramic Art Andenne has it all.
