Clay Speaks of Home, the annual New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists members exhibition opens at the Santa Fe Community College Visual Arts Gallery on March 5 and runs through April 8. The Gallery is open M_F from 9-5. With over 60 woks on exhibit (entries are open until January 23), this promises to be one of the largest and best exhibitions yet from this exciting, state-wide, 50-year-old organization. From expressive sculpture and evocative abstract forms to beautifully glazed lidded jars and pitchers, this exhibition has something for everyone. There are mixed media objects, wall hangings, functional and decorative ware that express everything from profound harmony with our New Mexican landscape to serious concerns with world events.
Join us at SFCC’s lovely campus for the opening on Thursday, March 5 from 4 to 6 pm to meet the artists, tour the gallery and hear who won the awards from the three jurors Serit deLopaz Kotowski (last year’s winner), Mary Sharp Davis (ceramicist extraordinaire) and Elizabeth Hunt (Head of Ceramics, SFCC). Maybe you will find that something special for your own collection. Then check out the exhibit at our website and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award at www.nmpotters.org beginning March 5.
