Rising Stars: A Student Show
 
March 12 - April 2, 2011
 
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 13, 3-5pm
 
Clay Art Center is pleased to present Rising Stars: A Student Show, an annual exhibition featuring the talents of our students. This coming together of CAC’s dedicated class members will generate a lively and diverse exhibit of functional and sculptural works, creating a visual presentation of Clay Art Center’s strength in educational programming. The exhibit will run from March 12 – April 2, 2011 with an opening reception on Sunday, March 13, 3-5pm.
 
Additionally, in our new studio wing, we will be exhibiting Community Clay: CAC Outreach an exhibition featuring a selection of the talents from our children’s community outreach programs. Admission is to both exhibits is free.

The annual Rising Stars exhibit is highly coveted by the CAC community. It gives our students – adults and children - the opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting, to invite their families and friends, and share the fruits of their time spent at Clay Art Center. In addition, it amplifies the breadth of Clay Art Center’s educational programming, and opens the community’s eyes to the transformational qualities of clay. Not only does the clay itself transform from a lump into a work of art, but clay transforms lives as well. Clay is a medium that is particularly expressive and inclusive, allowing people of all ages and experience levels to create something that is uniquely their own.
