International Ceramics Triennial Unicum

The first International Ceramics Triennial Unicum kicked off in 2009 with the central exhibition in the National Museum of Slovenia. Established within the Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations (ZDSLU) the triennial is dedicated to contemporary ceramics art and strives to popularise this medium among Slovene and international audience. Its core event is the exhibition of the works selected on the basis of the international competition. The call is released a year prior to the triennial. The programme includes also an exhibition of the selected works by art schools' and academies' students and accompanying curated events on various locations throughout Slovenia. The main exhibition in 2012 will take place in the Betnava Mansion on the outskirts of Maribor.
