In conjunction with the exhibition celebrating NCECA’s 50th anniversary, Across the Table, Across the Land, curators Namita Wiggers and Michael Strand have organized several city-wide events aimed at connecting ceramics with Kansas City communities. Each event strives to showcase how ceramics bring people together every day.

Across the Table, Across the Land programming is as follows:

Tea at the Bus Stop — Australian Ceramicist, Shannon Garson is recreating her “Tea at the Bus Stop” in Kansas City during the NCECA conference. “Tea at the Bus Stop” invites passengers to stop and enjoy a cup of tea and engage in conversation. People are invited to keep their cup–with the caveat that they share an image via Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #teaatthebusstop–or to just share in the joy of lively conversation and a good beverage in a handmade vessel.
