Each year, we welcome several talented emerging artists to Clay Art Center as part of our Artist in Residence program and Fellowship program. The program commences each September, and is designed to allow artists the time and space they need to develop their voices. Residents and Fellows teach classes, share their expertise, assist with studio responsibilities, and contribute greatly to the artistic vibrancy of the Center.
2024-2025 Rittenberg Artist-in-Residence Carley Holzem presents "The Sunroom", a collection of thrown and altered functional ceramics with strong connections to the home and the ordinary daily life experience.
2024-2025 Artist-in-Residence Christine Raposas presents "Opposable Thumbs", an exhibition of ceramic sculptures that explores the harmony between clay and glaze through sculpture.
Stephanie Perez presents "Remnants of Cognition", an exploration of transformation, perception, and the unsettling space between familiarity and the unknown. Stephanie is a second-year Westchester Community Foundation Fellow at Clay Art Center, and holds a BS in Psychology and Sociology from Fordham University. Drawing inspiration from her academic background, her artwork challenges.
The works will be on display and available to purchase at Clay Art Center from June 25th to August 2nd, 2025.
