The Contemporary Ceramic Collective is a community based, non-profit, artist collective that encourages and supports individual development and exploration in contemporary art.

Membership to the CCC is juried. There is an annual fee of $57.75 to pay at the Potter’s Guild of British Columbia website after your submission is accepted. You can choose to either select "PGBC" membership or "CCC" membership. You only need to pick one, and the option for title is there to allow you choice of how you would like to identify. No matter what, you will have access to both PGBC benefits (newsletter, etc) and CCC benefits. You do not need to pay this if you’re already a PGBC Member. If you are not a PGBC member then you will need to sign up. This gives you access to the PGBC benefits in addition to the CCC and allow the CCC to use the Gallery for meetings and events, have an annual exhibition in the Gallery of BC Ceramics, and write in their newsletter.
