Clay Art Center is pleased to present The Family Portrait Exhibition
Guest Juried by Kukuli Velarde

In the Gallery & Online September 1 - October 15, 2022

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 15th from 6 - 8pm.

The Family Portrait explores the meaning and definition of the family unit in contemporary culture and society. Guest Juried by Kuki Velarde, participating artists have responded to the theme by creating ceramic works that define what family means to them. The works presented explore the family unit in the broadest context that address and challenge traditional conceptions of what a family is, or could be.

This exhibition presents work from artists drawn from across the United States, and includes emerging and established ceramic artists. By using historical and cultural references in works that range from figurative to functional, and conceptual to playful, these artists invite us into a deeper conversation about the shifting landscape of the family unit.

Participating artists: Jocelyn Armstrong, Teela Banker, Yoko Sekino-Bové, Jamie Charles, Mya Cluff, Jane Neuss Cohen, Jill Cohen-Nuñez, Emily Downes, Sean Lutz, Marga McBride, Mac McCusker, Richard Nickel, Teddy Osei, Kristyn Rohrer, Shirah Rubin, Elisa Soliven, Kourtney Stone, Sara Torgison, Blake Williams.
