MCAA Michigan Mud 2025
The Michigan Ceramic Art Association (MCAA) welcomes more than 200 ceramic artists from across the state to its biannual conference, being held at Western Michigan University on May 16-17, 2025. MCAA has been promoting the ceramic arts in Michigan for 67 years.
Michigan Mud 2025 will feature internationally nationally known and celebrated ceramic artists Paul S. Briggs and Kyungmin Park, along with dozens of well-known artists from Michigan and the Midwest.
Michigan Mud provides networking and community building for the full range of ceramic artists, and an opportunity for the community to view exhibitions and purchase some of the artwork. Ceramic students also will have a chance to participate in a juried student show with scholarship prizes through recommendations from their teachers.
Show Me Your Papers / A Ver, - Y Tus Papeles?

Every day, hundreds of thousands of people cross borders. At these crossings, governments ask individuals to present papers for verification of migration status, documents that restrict entry to those individuals lucky enough to be verified by proof.
For migrants without papers, the mundane question “Show me your papers/ A ver, y tus papeles?” is not mundane, but rather an impossible interrogation that forces these individuals to risk their lives in an effort to avoid being verified. Having papers, therefore, becomes a matter of life or death.
This exhibition presents artists whose work on paper deals with issues of borders, migration, dual identity, as explored through print media.
