AMERICAN
CERAMIC CIRCLE
Annual Meeting
The ACC Symposium is held every November at a specially selected museum.
Among the many benefits of attending this annual meeting, the conference
presents participants with (1) the opportunity to hear lectures from ceramic
specialists and (2) the chance to meet other individuals with whom they can
share and exchange their knowledge and research findings about porcelain and
pottery. Attending the Symposium also offers the opportunity for
limited numbers of ACC members to participate in pre- and post-symposium
trips to private collections and local sites of interest.
The Seattle Art Museum hosted the 2007 ACC Symposium, November 1-4, 2007, Seattle, Washington. To learn more about that Symposium and the conference venue, click the link below.
