In
March 2005 the 1st International Triennial of Silicate Arts was
held in the Hungarian town of Kecskemét. Organised by the
International Ceramics Studio, a world famous ceramic art centre
and the Foundation for Contemporary Ceramic Arts. From an idea originated
by János Probstner, founder and director of the ICS, this
is a new internatinal exhibition and competition focussing on the
silicate arts of ceramics, porcelain, glass and concrete.
The
aims of the International Silicate Triennial are to stimulate both
fine and applied artists to create interesting and innovative objects
and to give scope to the industrial and artistic application of
new materials and technologies, encouraging the widening of directions
in 21st century silicate arts. 
We
would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the 4th
International Silicate Arts Triennial
will again take place
in Kecskemét, Hungary in August 2014 and we hope it will build
on the success of this first competition and become a major part
of the international exhibition forum. Information and application
forms for the 4th Triennial will be available on our website from
December 2013 and the application deadline will be 31st March 2014.
Organised
by the Foundation for Contemporary Ceramic Arts and the International
Ceramics Studio.
Details
will be available on this website as they are confirmed. Application forms are available for download on the conditions page
