Second Thursday Gallery Night

Second Thursday Gallery Night

Join The Clay Studio for Second Thursday to view Our Community, an open-call exhibition featuring works by students, staff, interns, alumni, and associate resident and teaching artists. The features encompass what inspires the artists, including global cultures, traditional techniques, 3D printing, slip casting, installation art, humor, and political activism. Our Community is a wonderful opportunity to meet other people and learn about different forms of art!

There will also be a reception for ceramic artist Lauren Sandler’s new exhibition, The Shape We Hold. The exhibition is an inquiry into the ways we are shaped and the ways we shape. Sandler’s practice utilizes regional materials and considers the layered and complex history of clay as a place to unearth stories, particularly those that have been erased, distorted, or rewritten. Through contextual re-framing, default narratives dissolve, enacting agency and an embodied knowledge of the ways we are shaped, and in turn, our potential to shape. The Shape We Hold and Our Community are on display in the Jill Bonovitz through March 29.
