Worldwide Welcome: Global Perspectives in North Carolina Clay (July 28-November 27, 2018)

Dragon vase detail, Jinsong & Carol Kim (Seagrove Art Pottery, Seagrove, NC)

With the title, Worldwide Welcome, borrowed from Emma Lazarus’ poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty, this show celebrates the diversity of work produced by a number of contemporary ceramic artists who have moved to North Carolina from different places around the world over the past several decades, bringing with them a multiplicity of perspectives and traditions. North Carolina has a rich pottery tradition, one that continues to evolve with each subsequent generation and as more and more people immigrate here from other areas around the world.

Sasha Bakaric, Onay Cruz Gutierrez, Seo Eo, Mark Hewitt, Helene Icard, Jinsong & Carol Kim, Jeannine Marchand, Reiko Miyagi, Anne Pärtna, Siglinda Scarpa, Hitomi Shibata, Takuro Shibata, Hiroshi Sueyoshi
