This symposium will provide a creative platform for experimental workshops where artists from a variety of backgrounds can engage in creative practice using contemporary and traditional forms of ceramic expression. Dialogue between artists will encourage research, experimentation and innovation in art. We do offer the material - Bon China, which carries in itself approximately 50 percent of calves bone ash, taken from the agricultural waste. The theme of this year’s symposium – sustainability. Participants will get to know local environment and cultural context and create bone china artwork for the intended exhibition space - in Kaunas Picture Gallery, subdivision of Čiurlionis National Museum. The grand opening of the exhibition is going to be on June 26, 2020. International Bone China Symposium is organized by Vilnius Academy of Arts, Kaunas Faculty. It is partially funded by Lithuanian Council for Culture and will join European Capital of Culture Kaunas 2022 programme.
