Featuring artwork by Kukuli Velarde, Molly Hatch & Ibrahim Said, Making Place Matter is an ambitious exhibition, symposium, and publication that will inaugurate The Clay Studio’s newly built home in the South Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, set to open in spring 2022. Together with our community MPM Council, we begin this new chapter in our own history, and the idea of ‘place’ takes on critical importance. Building a resonant conversation between clay artists and the community in our new gallery, Making Place Matter will be organized around the complex meanings of place in our contemporary social conversation.
The Clay Studio believes that access to artistic expression through ceramics should be available to all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or ability. When in alignment with our mission, we empower marginalized groups to take part in our programming and join our staff and board.
