We invite everyone to launch Northern Clay Center’s annual exhibition, Six McKnight Artists, with a free summer event. View the works of six talented and established artists from Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, France, and Canada. Artists in the exhibition include the 2024 recipients of the McKnight Artist Fellowship for Ceramic Artists, Maggie Jaszczak (Shafer, MN) and Ani Kasten (Shafer, MN), as well as the 2023 recipients of the McKnight Artist Residency for Ceramic Artists: Larry Buller (Lincoln, NE), Karima Duchamp (Mulhouse, France), Joon Hee Kim (Oakville, Ontario), and Ellen Kleckner (Cedar Rapids, IA).

Join our community of clay lovers for an open house and pottery sale. Partake in food, free hands-on clay activities, a Studio Artist Sale, and our fourth annual Collectors’ Sale. Mark your calendars and join us to celebrate the exhibition artists, the NCC community, NCC Studio Artists, and the amazing urban Seward Neighborhood that is our home!
