21 NOV 2025 – 8 FEB 2026

The 61st Ceramics NZ National Exhibition 2025. 

What a whirlwind of emotions, that now I can proudly say The 61st is well on it’s way for art enthusiasts to enjoy! The 61st judges, Moyra Elliott, Grace Lai and Peata Larkin, faced the demanding task of narrowing down 279 entries to a selection of 61 works. The quality of submissions was exemplary, making the blind judging selection process by consensus even more difficult. Congratulations to those that have been selected and to the prize winners!
