Cluj International Ceramics Biennale, by Monica Danila




As we can see, over the past few years, Cluj became increasingly obvious one of the centers of visual arts in Romania, by giving the opportunity for art lovers to be part of contemporary art, connecting with artists recognized on a national and international level.
The second edition of the International Biennale of Ceramics was held in October 2015 in Cluj Napoca, where a series of cultural events took place simultaneously, bringing the artistic component within an intercultural dialogue and a note of education in visual arts, meanwhile  introducing the Romanian viewer to contemporary ceramic artists and contemporary practice in the field.
The festival included six ceramic art exhibitions, a pottery fair, screenings of documentary films about ceramics, workshops, conferences, debates and other events, all accompanying the main event: the international competition. Awards were offered to the best works of over 100 artists from 37 countries.
The main exhibitions were hosted in multiple locations in Cluj: The Museum of Art, Casa Matei Gallery, IAGA Gallery, Horeb Gallery, Quadro Gallery and School of Art Ladea Romulus Gallery. A series of exhibitions will be organized outside Cluj. Sibiu hosts the best works of the previous edition (2013) and in Bucharest, Galateea Gallery will host the award-winning works of the current edition of the Biennale.
