Saturday, March 02, 2013

NEWPORT, R.I. – Salve Regina art professor Jay Lacouture will show some his work and present a talk as part of a group show currently being exhibited at the Community College of Rhode Island, Knight Campus Art Gallery in Warwick.

Lacouture will present his talk during the opening reception of the “CCRI Ceramics Invitational” on Tuesday, March 5 at 5 p.m., speaking on the development of his work over the years. Work from his “Post-Industrial Mingware Series,” inspired from his 2009 residency in China, is being exhibited in the show, which runs through March 29. The pieces are sodavapor glazed porcelain.

This exhibition combines the talents of locally, regionally and nationally known ceramic artists with the work of current and former CCRI ceramics faculty and students. This unique show features both a wide range of work and makers. In addition to Lacouture, James Lawton of the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth will speak. Salve Regina alumni Andrew Maglathlin, will also be part of the exhibit.

The exhibition is made possible by support from the Charles Sullivan Fund for the Arts and Humanities.
