Core Connections
The University of Tulsa Student and Alumni Ceramics Exhibition 1999-2016. Living Arts, Tulsa, OK
This exhibition brings together current and former students who have taken ceramic classes at The University of Tulsa from 1999-2016. Together they are celebrating their Core Connections through TU and Clay. In this exhibition many levels of work were exhibited, from continuing education students, undergraduate students, graduate students, and post graduate level work.
An excerpt from the National Council for the Education of Ceramic Arts (NCECA) mission statement describes the nature of this group of artists and this exhibition:
"Learning through art touches lives and builds meaningful connections. Clay’s receptive capacity connects us to the earth and one another like no other form of artistic practice. "
“Many amazing artists have passed through the TU ceramic studio over the past 17 years. Ceramic studios are special places where meaningful personal and artistic connections are made. I feel very privileged to be part of such an amazing group of artists. ”
