Each year Clay Art Center takes the opportunity to showcase the emerging talents coming out of the Watershed Winter Residency program. This year’s exhibition will feature Misty Gamble, Monica Leap, Krisaya Luenganantakul, Elisavet Papatheodorou, Daniel Ricardo Teran and Adero Willard. Watershed is a residency/retreat which provides artists with time and space to create in clay. They serve artists from across the country and abroad. Watershed's unique niche grows out of its small and intimate communal approach to a non-hierarchical, process-oriented environment for experimentation, exploration, collaboration, and growth.
Watershed’s approach to freedom in art-making is evident in this year’s artists chosen for winter residency. The exhibition will feature everything from abstract wall works and installations to compelling figurative sculpture to provocative vessels and functional pottery. Every year this exhibition offers a wide arrange of visual and mental stimulation, and every year we look forward to what might arrive.
