 Peekskill, NY - Paramount Center for the Arts has announced “Playing with Fire”, 12 Approaches to the Ceramic Process, Part of All Fired Up! A county wide exhibition of ceramics.
The exhibit will be on display October 4 – November 22, 2008. Opening reception is Saturday, October 4, 2-4pm.
"Playing With Fire" showcases the wide range of work in clay made expressly for the wall, from tiles, to tableaus, to sculptural installations. The exhibition highlights the unique working methods of twelve artists-which are central to their creative visions. Curators Lisa Breznak and Sarah Haviland chose multiple pieces by each artist to give visitors an in-depth view of the varied aesthetics, approaches and versatility to the medium of fired clay.
"Playing With Fire" is part of All Fired Up! a county wide, 60 venue, celebration of the ceramic arts. Museums, multi-art centers, libraries, schools, universities, parks and alternative sites will present parallel exhibitions that explore the breadth and depth of ceramic expression- from folk arts to fine arts, historical to contemporary.
All Fired Up! is a consortium project led by the Westchester Arts Council, the Clay Arts Center, the Westchester County Office of Tourism, and a steering committee made up of arts patrons and leaders from our county's major arts organizations; made possible by support from Chase, Entergy, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Department of Economic Development, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Arts & Business Council of NY and Westchester County Government.
