Jan 31 - Feb 28, 2022
Opening Reception Saturday, February 5th, 1.30 - 3.30pm
Clay Art Center is pleased to present Rising Stars: A Student Show, celebrating the achievements of our Adult students, with concurrent exhibitions from our Youth students, and our Community Arts Program. This exhibition brings together a diverse range of artists who are at many different stages in their journey with clay. It will feature functional and sculptural works, creating a visual presentation of Clay Art Center’s strength and breadth in educational programming. It is a great opportunity to acknowledge the technical skills, creativity and progress of our Adult Learners, as well as recognizing the achievements and importance of our Community Arts and Youth Programs, which are integral to our mission. This year, we invite not only students from the past year, but from the Winter 2020 period of online and onsite classes and private lessons. In this exhibition, our student body comes together as one, celebrating their hard work and learning through clay!
Over the past year, and under the guidance of our dedicated faculty and teachers, more than 400 students have taken classes at Clay Art Center. The long-term benefit of Rising Stars is to encourage and excite people to become students at CAC and to celebrate and encourage the talents of our current students. All these “emerging artists” have honed their skills and have learned to love clay and become part of the community by virtue of their becoming a student at the Center.
