Columbia College Chicago will host the fifth annual NMC Showcase during CAA 2014 on Thursday February 14th.The NMC showcase is a series of rapid-fire presentations by 16 NMC members (6 minute presentations). It has proven to be a great forum to get to know the work of a number of fellow members in a lively atmosphere and a great way to present your work to like-minded individuals.  Several spots will be reserved for graduate students currently enrolled in an MFA or PHD program.How you use the 6 minutes is up to you – show one project or a dozen – finished work or in-process work.

Presenters are chosen by lottery. You must enter your name to be considered. Only members that have not participated in the showcase in the past three years are eligible.

We publish simultaneous web and print on demand CAA Conference Editions yearly, and we will publish material from the NMC Showcase. Participants will be asked to submit a statement and work samples.
