Across the Divide Ceramic Exhibition 2012

Here is another show that I will be in this summer out in Flagstaff, Arizona.  I will be sending the two pieces out this week.  I would post the images of the work, but I think I will wait until the show is up and running.  I don't want to give away any sneak peaks just yet.  I'm working on trying to get down there for the opening, but with the end of graduate school approaching this week I'm not sure just yet.

Opening Reception: June 2, 6-8pm

Across the Divide will encompass the vast array of contemporary ceramics in the sculptural and installation genres. This exhibit uses the Continental Divide as a metaphor for the artist working in clay that has separated them from traditional techniques and stereotypes within the medium. Participating artists were encouraged to submit work that pushes traditional boundaries of the ceramic medium in its treatment of material and subject.

This exhibition features artists from across the country. All forms of ceramic sculpture, installation and new media work will be included. All works will have some ceramic component and range in scale from hand held to monumental.
Across the Divide opens with a reception on Saturday, June 2, 2012, from 6-8pm. Many of the participating artists will be in attendance, and there will be live music and some treats. The exhibition will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 11am-5pm, from June 5, through July 28, 2012, at the Coconino Center for the Arts. Admission to the reception and gallery is free and open to the public.
