'Lighting The Way' Invitational Exhibit Gleams At Clay Art Center

PORT CHESTER, NY — It is perhaps fitting that the medium with ancient roots that are celebrated for both form and function would honor the ineffable connection between art and light.

The Clay Art Center (CAC) announced that it will be presenting "Lighting The Way" in their gallery and online from March 4 until April 5.

The CAC says that its thematic Annual Invitational exhibition showcases the work being made in the studios by the artists who call the Clay Art Center their creative home.

In this year's "Lighting The Way" exhibit, the CAC says that the artists have been invited to interpret the theme, both conceptually and symbolically, through works that act as votives, lamps, wall sconces and candle holders.

Organizers say that the group exhibition "will feature both functional and sculpturally based works that encompass a range of techniques and processes in ceramics and give voice to both emerging and established Clay Art Center artists."

Participating artists this year include: Caito Stewart, Claire Cohen, Dalia Berman, Deb Heid, Evelyn Mtika, Jamie Lee, Jane Neuss Cohen, Jess Levin, Jess Palmer, Mara Gross, Marilyn Richeda, Mia Karlberg-Levin, Naoko Tanikawa, Peter Arnow, Rimmie Mosley, Suruchi Tripathi, Robin Henschel, Rose Foley, Sarah Koster, Susan Wortman, and Wendy Busch.

The Opening Reception will take place on Saturday, March 9, from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

The Clay Art Center is a nationally recognized non-profit center for the advancement and practice of ceramic arts offering exhibitions, clay classes for adults and children, studio spaces for clay artists, and outreach programs in the community.
