April 30 - May 2, 2010

"This is the kind educational, intellectual event one expects from museums or universities, but which public instititions seem less and less able to provide."---- ARTWEEK

CCACA brings the ultimate ceramic sculpture event to Davis, CA from April 30 - May 2, 2010. In an intimate setting, you can interact with top artists in a way not possible at other venues. UC Davis, home to the late sculptor Robert Arneson, was instrumental in defining a new direction for ceramic art. Enjoy delightful downtown Davis and be inspired by nationally recognized ceramic art talents.

Demontrations, lectures, shows—no other event delivers more inspired knowledge of ceramic sculpture for a better price. Meet face-to-face with distinguished ceramic sculptors you might only read about; see and hear from the artists what makes them top in their field.
