HandMade in America Exhibit: FLUX:A Craft Exchange
November 30 - February 22 at HandMade in America, 125 Lexington Avenue,Suite 101 in Asheville NC:
Opening Reception
Friday, November 30, 5:30pm-8pm
At HandMade in America
HandMade in
America has been working with Flux Studios of Mt. Rainier, Maryland, a
suburb of Washington D.C., to exchange exhibits in an effort to share
new ideas and demonstrate the importance for artists to stay abreast of
national trends. Flux Studios resident artists will be exhibiting work
at HandMade in America while artists from the Odyssey Center for Ceramic
Arts will be showing at Flux Studios; these handcrafted items will
travel nearly 500 miles.
Flux Studios
is an arts space in Northeast DC that houses the studios of six
professional sculptors, a large classroom space and an informal
exhibition gallery. The underlying concept behind Flux is one of
exploration, experimentation and dialog among its members and the
greater arts community. Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts is an
Asheville-based school and studio which promotes the understanding,
appreciation and professional development in the ceramic arts. To find
more about Flux Studios, click here
Novie Trump,
founder of Flux and one of the residents featured in the exhibition
says, “We are delighted to collaborate with HandMade in America on an
exchange exhibition. This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce
artists and collectors in the DC area to the work of NC ceramicists. In
addition, the members of Flux are excited to present our work to the
arts community in Asheville. This continues our tradition of exchange
and our desire to engage in an active dialogue with artists and arts
enthusiasts both nationally and internationally.”
