Ceramics Symposium

November 10–12, 2017

Join us for a weekend-long symposium celebrating the opening of the Everson’s new ceramics exhibition, From Funk to Punk: Left Coast Ceramics. In a series of conversations, lectures, and gallery tours, we will discuss our current dynamic artistic landscape with an emphasis on capturing the spirit and innovation of West Coast art as well as the Everson’s history of collecting and supporting this cross-continental dialogue.
