CLIFTON SPRINGS — A new exhibition will open at Main Street Arts with a reception planned for 3-6 p.m. April 27.
The event is free and open to the public and will coincide with Independent Bookstore Day, which will be celebrated at Sulfur Books, the bookstore at 18 E. Main St. owned by Main Street Arts.
“Made From Clay” is a group exhibition of 13 ceramic artists from across the Upstate region, and is a true celebration of ceramic art in its many forms.
The exhibition is a mix of sculptural and functional works, a display abundant with diverse colors and textures, perspectives and passions. Encompassed within the same room you will find beautifully made pottery: cups, bowls, plates, large vessels, and stunningly crafted sculptural pieces ranging from abstracted natural forms to playful figurative works. The collection of work gathered in this exhibition represents a range in material, style, and subject matter; and presents a cross-section of work being made in contemporary ceramics in the region.
The following artists are featured: Mike Griffin of Naples; David MacDonald of Syracuse; Mitch Messina of Pittsford; Brooke Millechia of Fairport; Chatham Monk of Shortsville; Dejan Pejovic of Rochester; Justin Rice of Shortsville; Amanda Schober of Buffalo; Jane Shellenbarger of Mount Morris; Hannah Thompsett of Scio; James Tingey Alfred of Station; Colleen Toledano of Buffalo; and Robin Whiteman of Springwater.
“Made from Clay” remains on display through May 29. Gallery hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Artwork in the exhibition can be previewed and purchased at MainStreetArtsCS.org.
