The Keramikpanorama is an exhibition of diverse, contemporary ceramics in the open air directly on the picturesque Lake Murten. The professionally organised event offers you the opportunity to present and sell your works in direct contact with customers.
The selection of around 100 exhibitors by a jury guarantees high quality and diversity. Two awards will also be presented: the Jury Prize and the Audience Prize. In addition, the supporting program offers the opportunity for professional exchange and meetings with colleges.
Information for exhibitors
The Jury
The Keramikpanorama is juried. About 100 exhibitors are selected from the applicants for the market.
The aim is to show the visitors a great variety of expression possibilities with the ceramic materials and to cover a wide thematic diversity while maintaining the highest possible quality. Visitors will discover abstract sculptures and objects, lively figurines and archaic garden ceramics as well as functional, sometimes colorful, sometimes restrained utility ceramics made of earthenware, stoneware, stoneware and porcelain in a wide variety of styles and expressions. In short, a panorama of contemporary ceramic design.
The jury bases its selection on the following criteria:
Expressiveness, aesthetic design and technical quality of the work
