SUMMARY:Cocktails with the Curator (Online Gathering)
DESCRIPTION:In Ecclesiastes it is written that “there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry.” The Return to Eating\, Drinking\, and Merriment exhibit celebrates the way that food and drink bring people together and bring joy to our lives. It is a hybrid show that combines a National Ceramic Cup Show focused on drinking vessels; with a regional two-dimensional and non-ceramic three-dimensional show that echoes these themes. \nJoin us online on Saturday\, October 8 at 7:30pm for Cocktails with the Curator. Stephen Lally\, curator of the Return to Eating\, Drinking\, and Merriment exhibit\, will share his vision for this hybrid exhibit\, share details about the award winners (selected by juror Jeremy Wallace)\, and answer questions. \nThe online platform allows for participants from across the country to attend. Juried in to the National Ceramic Cup show include artists from Alabama\, Illinois\, Minnesota\, North Carolina\, Ohio\, New York\, as well as local DMV artists. \nMake your favorite drink and join the session! \nRegister before Saturday\, October 8 at 6:30pm ET in order to receive the connection information in time. The meeting will be online through the Zoom platform. Registered members will be sent the connection information via email the day before the meeting and again one-hour before the meeting. You may attend on a computer\, tablet\, or smartphone. \nRegister Now \n\nArtwork credit: (above) Vessel by juror Jeremy Wallace;(page top) “Eat\, Drink\, and Be Merry” (photograph) by Sam Lally featuring pottery by Stephen Lally
