AusArt Day Thu 22 Oct 2026
DONATE to The Australian Ceramics Mentorship Program
We’re raising funds to make meaningful mentorship opportunities accessible to artists at different stages of their practice. Your support will help us connect emerging and established ceramicists with experienced practitioners, creating space to share skills, exchange ideas, build confidence, and develop sustainable creative careers.
By contributing to this campaign, you’ll help ensure that artists are fairly compensated for their time, knowledge, and expertise, while providing mentees with valuable opportunities to learn, experiment, and grow.
DONATE BELOW AND HELP US MAKE PAID, ARTIST-LED MENTORSHIPS A REALITY!

The Australian Ceramics Association acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and First Nations Peoples’ connections to land, sea, and sky.
We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and that we are on stolen land. We pay our respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who engage with the Association, our events, and our programs.
As we gather to listen and speak we are doing so in the home of one of the longest continuous cultures of shared oral storytelling, material wisdom, and artmaking on this planet.
