New Exhibit: ROOTS IN CLAY Opening May 6

Please join us for the opening reception of our newest exhibit. Mingle with the artists and browse their impressive work while indulging on wine/refreshments and light food prepared by the Mountain Area Potters Gang. This event is FREE and open to the public.



The Center for the Arts Evergreen proudly presents Roots in Clay—an exhibit comprised of the Mountain Area Potters Gang as well as other clay artists. The Mountain Area Potters Gang (MAPG) is a group of local artists who share a passion for pottery and art, using clay as their primary medium. Periodically throughout the year, members of MAPG are invited into one another's homes and studios to socialize and enjoy delicious gourmet potluck meals, served in beautiful handmade pottery vessels. The artist hosting the gathering may propose a specific discussion or may organize an inspirational kind of "show and tell" event, encouraging each artist to share their individual expression and experiences through working with clay. Many in the Gang have been working with clay for over forty years and others are newer to the medium. Likewise, many members are locally and nationally well-known, and several teach in the area. The Mountain Area Potters Gang, which was started over fifteen years ago, provides its members with friendship, support, inspiration, and respect for all levels of expertise and experience. Center for the Arts Evergreen is very pleased to present the delightfully varied work of the Mountain Area Potters Gang, on display May 6-June 9 2016.
