Advances the ceramic arts for artists, learners, and the community, through education, exhibitions, and artist services.
The Warren MacKenzie Advancement Award (WMAA) aims to support the continuing education and ceramic research of students and emerging artists for up to twelve months. It focuses on broadening the professional development of current undergraduates, graduate students, recent graduates, or individuals who have completed equivalent ceramic training. The grant facilitates opportunities to explore new ceramic techniques or processes, undergo mentorship, attend classes at various ceramic art centers, engage in cross-disciplinary collaborations, and travel for artistic growth. However, it does not support the purchase of large capital equipment.
