ceramic laboratory 2026

The Rothko Museum invites artists to apply to the 14th International CERAMIC LABORATORY Symposium. Organised in a close partnership with the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Ceramics, this vibrant creative forum is an open creative platform for contemporary experiments in the ceramic medium.

The symposium is held in the Daugavpils Fortress, a historical part of the city and home to the Latvian Centre of Contemporary Ceramics. Each year, the symposium attracts the world’s leading ceramic artists who spend almost three weeks in a shared studio space, which is fully equipped for different firing techniques – from electric and wood firing to more experimental technologies.

When and where: Rothko Museum, Daugavpils, Latvia, from 26 April to 16 May 2026
