Curatorial Statement
Artist’s Reception: Friday, June 2, 2017 from 5-7pm MT
Exhibition Posted Online: Monday, June 5 by 10am Mountain Time
The Artist-Invite-Artists Residency provides artists with the opportunity to have a small focused amount of time for their studio practice that may or may not be possible during their normal, daily routines. The Red Lodge Clay Center keeps the months of June, July, and August open and available to the AIA Residency Program. The artists who are selected for the residency might have day jobs that range from academia to administration to full-time studio artist. We provide them with the time and space needed to work in a creative environment with their peers and colleagues in the field of ceramics. Dialogue, collaboration, and influences can and will happen during their time spent together in the studio. The Red Lodge Clay Center is pleased and excited to host an exhibition that showcases the artwork of the summer AIA groups into one exhibition to start the summer season in the Loft Gallery.
For the summer of 2017, we will have AIA groups from Brenda Lichman, Matt Mitros, Kate Fisher, and Bob Shay.
