Ink & Clay 39 Exhibit Debuts at Cal Poly Pomona

The exhibition will display 100 pieces — 50 clay and 50 ink —from nearly 400 submissions nationwide. A national jury of distinguished art faculty curated the exhibition, the first time the Ink & Clay has gathered a national group for the task of curating the exhibition. Comprising the jury for Ink & Clay 39: Stanton Hunter, associate professor of art at Chaffey College; Michael David, chair of fine arts at the Art Institute of Boston, Lesley University; and Lisa Folman, professor of fine arts at Lesley University.

Shortly after the exhibit officially opens, the Kellogg Gallery website (www.csupomona.edu/~kellogg_gallery) will feature a virtual catalog of the exhibition. The website is currently displaying Ink & Clay 38.

Jones Memorial Purchase Prize and the University President’s Award, sponsored by the Office of University President, J. Michael Ortiz.
