Seismic State: California Ceramics is on view at Sparrow Gallery, Sacramento

March 12 – April 1, 2022

California’s ceramics embody many cultures and traditions, but they also convey a certain freedom & edginess. ACGA is pleased to announce “Seismic State: Ceramics of California”, selected by NCECA as a Venue-Originated Exhibition during its 2022 conference in Sacramento. This show celebrates sculptural & functional work by artists living & working in the state today.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Association of Clay & Glass Artists of California (ACGA) and hosted by Sparrow Gallery in downtown Sacramento.

Juror Beth Ann Gerstein joined AMOCA as Executive Director in 2014, following a twenty-year tenure as Executive Director for The Society of Arts and Crafts in Boston, Massachusetts. She currently serves on the board of Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts in Maine. Gerstein is a former member of the Collections Committee of the Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, MA, former board member of the Glass Art Society, and served on the Lifetime Achievement Committee for the Society of North American Goldsmiths. Gerstein holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Edinboro University.

“One of the most rewarding, but also challenging tasks asked of any arts professional is to participate as a juror for an exhibition. There is no official rulebook and the process is highly subjective. Each of us comes equipped with his or her own artistic knowledge and experiences. I selected artwork from a diverse group of artists who have their own vision, master a technique, tell an interesting narrative, push the boundaries, and/or take a risk. I want to congratulate all of the artists whose work was included in this exhibition and the ACGA for organizing this exhibition.”
