This clay exhibit will be curated by Arthur Gonzalez, a professor of ceramics at the California College of the Arts, and Mark Eanes. Arthur Gonzalez has received numerous awards and is a four time recipient of the National Endowment of the Arts award.
“California College of the Arts’ contribution to the global image of contemporary ceramics is not arguable. With graduates such as Viola Frey, Robert Arneson and Peter Voulkos, the formally known California College of Arts and Crafts was the hotbed of new thinking in the medium that has influenced the world. This exhibition answers the question, “What have you done for us lately?” Twenty-one alums from CCA of the new millennium show that “idea with clay” are symbolic catalysts to amazing visual answers that set the stage for the now.” – Co Curator Arthur Gonzalez
