Titled “Cups and Vessels,” the exhibit is located in the EFA Building’s Gallery 193 and will be open for free public viewing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, April 10-21.

The exhibit is being presented as a precursor to the 32nd annual San Angelo Ceramic Symposium on April 21. The symposium will run from 1:30-4:30 p.m. in Room 101 of the EFA Building and will be immediately followed by a closing reception for the ASU student ceramics exhibit in Gallery 193. Both the symposium and reception are open free to the public.

Panelists for the symposium will be Bonnie Lynch, a New Mexico-based ceramic artist; Linda Lynch, a print artist from New Mexico; Brian Molanphy, an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics; and Jessica Powers, curator of Art of the Ancient Mediterranean World at the San Antonio Museum of Art. The moderator will be Howard J. Taylor, director of the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (SAMFA). Esteban Apodaca, ASU art professor, will serve as the symposium coordinator.

In addition to the symposium, ASU will host several other related events April 20-24 at SAMFA and the Old Chicken Farm Art Center.
