2025 New Members

Monika Dąbrowska Picewicz (Poland), “From The Gusts Series”, 2024.
The Academy welcomes its 250 new members of 2025.
The 2025 election presented another chance to display an array of exceptional and diverse entries. This year, the IAC received a record number of applications. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the candidates and sponsors for their ongoing support in strengthening this professional network dedicated to ceramics.	Information about the new members is available on their individual pages and these will be updated soon. The artists’ pages are already online on the Members webpage.
