Perspectives features the work of high school students from Roaring Fork High School and Basalt High School. Over the last few months, potter and CCC Operations Manager, Matthew Eames, has been working with the exhibiting group of students offering artistic advice and critiques.

Eames views the invitational as more than just an exhibition opportunity — it’s a chance to mentor and shape the next generation of artists.
“When you get into college, if you go to art school, a lot of the time there’s monthly critiques, talking about the making of your work; the execution, the concepts and the ideas,” Eames said. “…if they’re looking to art as a career, I thought it was very important to have them engage in that type of conversation and experience those things.”
During the invitational, Eames finds immense joy in witnessing young creatives execute their vision

CERAMIC ART GALLERY
About the Carbondale Clay Center Ceramic Art Gallery
Carbondale Clay Center’s ceramic art gallery hosts some of the most enthralling pottery and ceramics exhibitions in the entire Roaring Fork Valley and Western Slope. The gallery’s schedule features a diverse set of local, regional, and national artists on a rotating basis. While the bulk of the work displayed in the gallery is that of ceramic artists, the gallery occasionally features the work of artists using other mediums.
“The Carbondale Clay Center Gallery’s mission is to educate, nourish, and inspire the public by providing an open and welcoming exhibition space of creativity, learning, and growth that showcases emerging and established ceramic artists.”
