Portage Ceramic Awards 2024

Te Uru is delighted to present the Portage Ceramic Awards 2024. This annual award provides a vital platform to showcase the diversity of contemporary clay practices in Aotearoa.

The Portage Ceramic Awards is Aotearoa’s best-known annual survey of contemporary ceramics. The exhibition of finalist works provides a vital platform for showcasing the diversity of contemporary clay practices in this country.
