Opening Reception: Concurrent Artists-In-Residence Exhibitions

Clay Art Center presents exhibitions from our 2024-2025 Residency cohort featuring: Rittenberg Artist-in-Residence Carley Holzem, Artist-in-Residence Christine Raposas, and Second-Year Westchester Community Foundation Fellow Stephanie Perez.

Each year, we welcome several talented emerging artists to Clay Art Center as part of our Artist in Residence program and Fellowship program. The program commences each September, and is designed to allow artists the time and space they need to develop their voices. Residents and Fellows teach classes, share their expertise, assist with studio responsibilities, and contribute greatly to the artistic vibrancy of the Center.

2024-2025 Rittenberg Artist-in-Residence Carley Holzem presents “The Sunroom”, a collection of thrown and altered functional ceramics with strong connections to the home and the ordinary daily life experience.

2024-2025 Artist-in-Residence Christine Raposas presents “Opposable Thumbs”, an exhibition of ceramic sculptures that explores the harmony between clay and glaze through sculpture.
 
2024-2025 Second-Year Westchester Community Foundation Fellow Stephanie Perez presents “Remnants of Cognition”, an exploration of transformation, perception, and the unsettling space between familiarity and the unknown.
This fellowship was made possible by the Westchester Community Foundation, a division of The New York Community Trust.
 
The work will be on display and available to purchase at Clay Art Center from June 25th to August 2nd, 2025.
