The Carnegie Center for Art and History in
New Albany, Indiana is pleased to announce the
opening of a new exhibit, "Ohio Valley
Clay: Function and Form." The exhibit features
ceramics by Chris Baskin, Sarah Frederick, Matthew
Gaddie, John Guenther, Charles Hansen, Suzy
Hatcher, Rand Heazlitt, Laura Ross, Reese Salmon,
and Norman Silva. "Ohio Valley Clay: Function
and Form" showcases modern functional dinnerware
and emphasizes each artist’s individual
and distinctive use of clay.
|
The purpose of this exhibit is to bring
to the community an awareness of local potters and
how functional ceramics have evolved in this area,
with the intent of also increasing the interregional
ceramic community’s awareness of Kentuckiana
potters. "Ohio Valley Clay: Function and Form"
is presented as part of the 2007 NCECA (National Council
on Education for the Ceramic Arts) Conference that
will take place March 14 through 17 at the Kentucky
International Convention Center in Louisville (www.nceca.net).
The exhibit is open March 14 through April 27, 2007.
There will be an opening reception for
this exhibit on Thursday March 15 from 6 to 9 pm.
Visitors can enjoy refreshments and a chance to meet
the artists included in this exhibit, and live jazz
music will be featured from 6 to 8 pm. This event
is free and open to the public. The opening reception
is sponsored by the Carnegie Center, Inc.

Visitors to the opening reception for "Ohio
Valley Clay: Function and Form" can also
