We are excited to invite all talented ceramic artists of the region to participate in the Aura Ceramic Collective, an exclusive event aimed at showcasing their exceptional work. This two day event will offer a platform for you to present your artistry to a curated audience of ceramic enthusiasts.

The Venue

Aura, as many of you may have already visited, is a 3 acre farm, just 20 minutes from Chandigarh. It’s green, it’s quiet, with lots of trees and birds, 3 ponds and a swimming pool. It gives us a lot of joy to be able to welcome all ceramic artists from the city and around, to come together, here at Aura, in celebration of a spirit of community and the higher purpose of shared experiences.

The Experience

We wish to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for both participating artists and guests. We truly believe that The Aura Ceramic Collective can be more than just an exhibition; it could be a celebration of art, culture, fun, wonder, curiosity and community.
