TERRA FORMA
Nov 15, 2025 - Mar 29, 2026

Terra Forma is a contemporary ceramics exhibition that celebrates the vast lineage of ceramics, an artform rooted in the humble, functional objects of early civilizations that has grown into a field of limitless expression. Here you’ll encounter works that honor tradition alongside pieces that push boundaries through experimentation, performance, and cross-disciplinary approaches. Together, they reflect the full spectrum of contemporary ceramics: grounded in history, yet always evolving, expansive, and alive with possibility.

FREE Public Reception: Dec 12, 2025 | 6 - 9 pm
