“The Mug” is an exhibition celebrating the potter and the portrait. This show features nearly 200 mugs created by top potters and emerging mug makers throughout the US. In tandem, nine artists will exhibit work in textiles, clay, photography, and mixed media defining the portrait (aka ‘mug’). Each potter and portrait artist are exploring identity, utility, and belonging. Curated by Janet Fine & Ann Hazels.
