On view this fall, in the main gallery at Northern Clay Center, is an internally-curated exhibition in partnership with community organizations, NCC’s Artist Advisory Committee—Pathways: Collaboration, Community, Clay.
…
Pathways: Collaboration, Community, Clay will bring together artists, community programs, and outreach organizations that have embarked on and demonstrated alternative pathways to establishing, pursuing, and supporting sustainable creative experiences and careers in the ceramic field; pathways that dispel the notion that the most valid path is to solely engage and operate within the academy, revealing opportunities beyond the accepted value of academic degrees with accessible and meaningful creative experiences with clay. Participants in this exhibition have activated and continue to create viable pathways parallel to the traditional and, more often than not, expensive and increasingly inaccessible route of academia. This invitational exhibition aims to provide a platform for artists, community programs, and outreach organizations who, with intent, walk and contribute to establishing and validating pathways and inroads to clay outside the support system of academia.
