Art in Medicine
The Artist + Researcher Exhibition First Look will feature the work of nine teams of one researcher and one artist. The researchers come from each of the three public research universities: Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona; and all the artists call the Greater Phoenix Metro home. These teams have worked side by side in the lab, classroom and art studio to develop unique pieces of art that communicate the researcher’s area of study in a different medium than a scholarly journal or lecture.

Under the slogan of “Re:Start,” the festival delves deeper into the roles of ceramics in the past and the post-COVID-19 era while delivering a message of healing and hope through artistic contributions. In the past, the occasion presented ceramic-related themes such as earth, fire, and soul; this year, however, it features new endeavors, shows production processes, and includes content that transcends the boundaries of artworks.

Future Memories:
The Clay Studio
Artists explore the theme of transformation through works that consider the effects of The Clay Studio Residency on their work and retrospective meditations. The work of fifty artists are represented, see the full text at the bottom of this page for the complete list of artists. This exhibition was originally intended for the 2020 NCECA Conference in Richmond, VA, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
For the exhibition Future Memories, 50 current and former Clay Studio Resident Artists created work that serves as the new repository for thoughts and feelings that evoke their time in the program. Each will reflect on what the Residency meant to them, what expectations for the future did they have at the time? The Clay Studio Resident Program is intended to be a springboard to the next phase of the artists' careers. It is, by definition, a transformative time. How does each Resident remember their expectations of the future when they joined the program?

Krasl Art Center artlab Exhibit Opening: Fri, Nov 3, 6:00 pm "Hexagons spouting ceramic forms shift as they move across the walls of the space, each cell grown over by nature.
Ceramic forms turn into drawings experimenting with expanding the dimension, creating a relationship between 2D and 3D form. Small ceramic pieces erupt in and around the hexagons bridging the gap between the two mediums.
The progression documents the changes of plant growth as the natural environment transforms into a new landscape implicating the importance of our ecosystem."
