Composed of sixteen ceramicists, nineteen painters, a poet, an illustrator, and three canines, the 2019 - 2021 Academy weathered the chaos of 2020 six feet apart, emailing each other snapshots and video greetings, leaving voicemails of poetry readings, and continuing to work and paint and draw and sculpt on their own and in small socially-distanced groups.
We invite you to see the incredible results!
