Opening Reception: NCECA 2026 X AFTERLIGHT

Join us for the Opening Reception of AFTERLIGHT, on Friday, March 27th from 6-10PM at PLAYGROUND DETROIT.

Organized by Wade MacDonald and Kyle Triplett, AFTERLIGHT examines light, darkness, and shadow through illuminated ceramic-based works, evoking memory and reflection while inviting viewers to embrace the poetic duality between illumination and obscurity.

Artists: Ling Chun, Emily Duke, Vincent Frimpong, Future Retrieval, Salvador Jiménez Flores, Wade MacDonald, Jesse Ring, Iren Tete, Colleen Toledano, and Kyle Triplett

Volumes, the 60th conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), explores diverse cultures, material-driven experimentation, and conceptual frameworks that animate art created through clay. The essential energy of voices and sounds of the Detroit region catalyzes this conference’s theme.
