Fall Exhibition

October 19, 2008 - January 11, 2009
Conversations in Clay


This exhibition celebrates clay, a natural material rich in human history and found in virtually every culture around the world. Clay’s malleability, expressive potential, and cultural connections make it a dynamic medium in the hands of contemporary artists. The ten artists in Conversations in Clay use this ancient material to create exciting, thought-provoking installations – environments that surround and involve the viewer.

YOUNGER ARTISTS: Clay Stories


Showcase your students’ work in the Museum. Original art created in your classroom, inspired by your Museum visit to Conversations in Clay and Jeanette Winter: Josefina, will be displayed in the Learning Center Gallery. For example, consider making clay objects inspired by the Mexican folk art tradition or by contemporary clay artists. Or, create a class book inspired by the exhibitions. Items can be made by individual students, groups, or entire classes. Exhibition space is limited. Younger Artists will have a festive fruit punch and cookie opening.
