The Clay Studio is a preeminent arts organization in Philadelphia that works in partnership with artists and the community to advance the ceramic arts and build connections where all can flourish. As artists, advocates, and educators, the Clay Studio inspires curiosity and discovery around the art and craft of clay, drawing together students, artists, and an engaged public into a welcoming community. Every day, in classrooms, studios, galleries, and neighborhoods, they deepen the connection between people and clay with the highest quality programs and exhibitions. Founded in 1974, The Clay Studio continues in the belief that shared creativity, so fundamental to humanity, is a critical force for good.
The work featured in this exhibition highlights artists from their Resident Artist Program. The Clay Studio offers 12 artists at a time the opportunity to develop their practice, establish professional contacts and standards, and work within a community of like-minded individuals in an urban environment for up to three years. The program is designed for artists who are early in their careers to develop the skills to make their lives as artists. Each cohort intentionally reflects a range of lived experiences and diverse aesthetic approaches, cultures and perspectives.
