There’s still time to enter into one of New Zealand’s premier exhibitions and awards for ceramics.
Submissions close on Friday 21st August 2026.
Pushing Clay will show at Tāwera | Refinery ArtSpace, Nelson on 3-24 October.
Awards announced on Wednesday evening, 2 October.
This is your chance to break the mould and challenge traditional clay practices. Whether you work solely with clay or incorporate it into your mixed media art, we welcome you to showcase your innovative techniques in both two and three-dimensional pieces.
With a top prize of $8,000 and two runner-up cash prizes of $1,000 each, generously sponsored by Forsyth Barr, Pushing Clay 2026 aims to inspire and invigorate artists to push their limits and innovate their practise.
In 2026, the Pushing Clay exhibition will be in the new gallery space for Tāwera | Refinery ArtSpace, in Nelson.
Hiwa | Arts Council Nelson are committed to building an archival record of contemporary New Zealand ceramics, as presented through the Pushing Clay exhibition and award, as part of Nelson Clay Week.
