Queer Clay Artists in Conversation w/Alex Anderson and Julia Kunin

Thursday, September 14, 2023 • 5:00–6:00 PM (PDT) • Virtual

Join us for a virtual discussion with Alex Anderson and Julia Kunin, two of the talented artists behind our current exhibition Making in Between: Queer Clay.

Gain firsthand insights about how the inspiration, concept, and process works for these creative individuals. This panel of Queer Clay artists will dive into the cultural and social contexts that have shaped their artistic process. Artists will be joined by exhibition curators Beth Ann Gerstein and Pam Aliaga, who will offer insight into the exhibition concept and curatorial process. 

The panel will be followed by a Q&A session, where you’ll have the opportunity to pose your own questions to the artists and curators.
