Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery

Celebrate eighty-one years of the Scripps College Ceramic Annual with an evening of art, live music by Gold Minutes, and refreshments. Guest curated by ceramic artist Reniel Del Rosario, this year’s exhibition, Means to an End, considers contemporary artists’ enduring fascination with clay and use of ceramics as a springboard for innovation and dialogue across diverse media. Works by Debra Broz, Paola de la Calle, Cathy Della Lucia, Fred DeWitt, Matt Goldberg, Dana Hemenway, Stephanie Temma Hier, Haylie Jimenez, Sahar Khoury, Karen Kuo, Cathy Lu, Kari Marboe, Patrick Martinez, and Victor Saucedo challenge conventional ideas about the medium and demonstrate its unique dynamism and pervasive presence in contemporary art.
