The 13th Annual Ceramics Invitational Exhibition and Student sale will be held at the McGroarty Arts Center Saturday, June 4th through Saturday, June 25th.
This year’s exhibition theme is “Teapots.” Brian Peshek will be returning for a seventh turn at curating this very popular art exhibition at the McGroarty Arts Center. He will feature an impressive showing of selected works from some of the areas most talented ceramic artists, including Biliana Popova, Fred Olsen, Fred Yokel, John Hopkins, Karen Thayer, Karen Koblitz, Kevin Myers, Melody Cooper, Patrick Shia Crabb, Porntip Sangvanich, Stanton Hunter, Steve Davis, Vince Palacious, Vincent Suez, and many others. In addition, the traditional Student Sale will exhibit the works of up-and-coming ceramic artists from the McGroarty Arts Center.
Brian has always had a passion for creating whimsical teapots which began from his very early days as a student at Valley College where he was known as the “Teapot Guy.” While working on his bachelors at CSUN he was invited by gallery owner, Melody Cooper, to feature his one-of-a-kind teapots in his first solo show. Later after receiving his MFA from Alfred University, in New York, he had his second solo exhibition entitled, “Teapots, teacups, and tea bowls.”
Brian explains he loves building teapots because of the challenge of combining the teapot elements: body, spout, handle, etc., and they are a great vehicle for expression. Each of the selected pieces by this diverse group of artists in this 13th annual exhibition will embody depth, complexity and artistic achievement.
Come and enjoy the show under the majestic oaks, and maybe even leave with a unique piece of art. View this exceptional exhibition in the historical building of John Steven and Ida McGroarty. All art sale proceeds benefit the McGroarty Arts Center.
