More Than Skin Deep

August 8 th - September 26th, 2009
Opening: Saturday, August 8th, from 6 to 8 pm

View The Gallery Online

Baltimore Clayworks hosts the exhibition More Than Skin Deep , an exploration of ceramic surfaces. This exhibition runs August 8 th - September 26th, 2009 with an opening reception on Saturday, August 8th, from 6 to 8 pm. Admission is free.

More Than Skin Deep focuses on the multitude of surfaces being created by contemporary ceramic artists. Some artists mimic materials, others use alternative materials; some are quiet- a single luscious glaze, others boisterous, a ca cop hony of designs. Some have a narrative undertone, some are a beauty to contemplate, and others imply other realms. Whether you employ traditional ceramic techniques, or explore mixed-media to complete your vision it will be an invigorating show.

Invited Artists: Jason Briggs (TN), Jessica Broad (VA), Dan Brown (WY), Kyle Carpenter (NC), Rick Cleaver (MD), Patrick Coughlin (FL), Niki Crosby (PA), Lynn Duryea (ME), Shanna Fliegel (NY), Ann Hazels (MD), Giselle Hicks (NY), Jerry Kaba (PA), Ani Kasten (MD), Mike Kipp (MD), Laura Jean McLaughlin (PA), Shari McWilliams (FL), Jenny Mendes (OH), Leigh Taylor Mickelson (NY), Dan Murphy (UT), Brooke Noble (NY), Randy O'Brien (AZ), Jeremy Randall (NY), Frank Saliani (MT), Thomas Schmidt (NY), Eric Seritella (NY), Katherine Taylor (TX), Novie Trump (VA), Lana Wilson (CA)

Tyler School of Art, Temple University: From Ceramics Monthly’s “MFA Factor” series

Ceramic Monthly highlights Tyler School of Art's MFA program

Tyler’s philosophy emphasizes the investigation and articulation of concepts leading to a high level of personal inquiry, resulting in work that challenges and extends the traditional boundaries of the media and their accepted definitions. Students have access to state of the art facilities and tools while enjoying an interdisciplinary education. The program provides weekly contact with major faculty, ongoing informal critiques with faculty, formal critiques and evaluations twice a semester, and an interdisciplinary graduate thesis committee. There are also significant teaching opportunities and study abroad programs available in Rome, Japan, India, and Scotland, among others.

The visiting artists seminar enhances the curriculum by bringing nationally renowned artists and critics working in a variety of media and venues to the campus for lectures, workshops, and student tutorials on a weekly basis. In addition to the visiting artists invited to the campus, the surrounding community itself is rich with opportunities in the visual and performing arts. Philadelphia is home to an active, contemporary art scene that includes internationally renowned museums, commercial galleries, art centers, and residency programs. Coupled with the close proximity to New York City, our graduate students find that they have easy access to some of the most important research resources in contemporary art.

Graduate Students
	Lauren Dombrowiak The urban Philadelphia setting and amazing new facilities are the reasons I initially chose Tyler. I find that the faculty’s involvement in challenging my mind and the work I create is why I love this program. Being pushed to use my ceramic knowledge in whatever media I need, and to do this in an intelligent way, is the backbone of the program.
	Kate Dowell I knew as an undergraduate that I wanted to continue into a graduate program, so I took only a year off in order to research schools and focus on making my application competitive. I chose to study here because The Tyler School of Art offers an interdisciplinary approach to art making in a city with a rich art culture.
	Jonathan Dickstein I took seven years off before attending graduate school. Now I’m using my time in school to develop a keen understanding of where my work fits in terms of space, venue, and audience. After graduate school, I intend to pursue residency opportunities and part-time university teaching positions.
	Elaine Quave I was out of school for two years before I went back to get my MFA. I chose Tyler because it has great faculty and it is located in a city that has a lot of resources and an interesting art scene.

Each of New York Foundation for the Arts' programs and services will be covered with an emphasis on NYFA Source, Fiscal Sponsorship, and the Immigrant Artists Project. NYFA Source: NYFA Source is the most extensive national online directory of awards, services, and programs for artists. Fiscal Sponsorship: Fiscal Sponsorship is a critical way for individual artists, artists' collaborative projects, and emerging arts organizations in all disciplines to apply for funding usually available only to organizations with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The right fiscal sponsor will not only allow you to manage your project efficiently, but can actually help artists to raise more money and realize their artistic visions more fully. Immigrant Artists Project: Through the Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program, the bi-monthly IAP Newsletter, and other programming, the Immigrant Artist Project seeks to expand the constituency it serves by nurturing and fostering a community of empowered artists with diverse educational, cultural, and creative backgrounds.

Temple University needs your help right away. Call or e-mail your Pennsylvania state legislator this morning.

As you may have read in the newspapers, the entire Commonwealth appropriation for Temple University, approximately $175 million, is in jeopardy in the House of Representatives. The loss of the Commonwealth’s support would be a devastating move that would have a dramatic impact on the university’s students, employees and alumni.

The impact on our students could be particularly devastating since they could see their tuition rise by almost $5,000. In an economy like this, a 45 percent increase in tuition will damage the lives of students and their families for years to come.

The impact would not end with our students. There also is the potential of job cutbacks, a reduction in research and the elimination of projects that make Temple an economic engine for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Temple University is vital for Pennsylvania. We take great pride in providing an excellent public education for more than 27,000 Pennsylvania students at an affordable price. We also have become a critical driver in the region’s economic development, as an incubator for human talent that has a positive impact on the city of Philadelphia, the Commonwealth and the nation. As we work together to survive the worst economic recession in 60 years, institutions like Temple are more important than ever.

I urge you to get involved on behalf of Temple University and call or e-mail your state legislator now. A vote could take place as early as 11:30 a.m. today, so immediate action is critical. You can find the e-mail and phone number of your legislator online. Sample messages and an online form are available here, if you need them.

Thank you for your continuing support of Temple University.
