Descubra "Formar Tierra y Lugar", el ambicioso proyecto que será la exposición inaugural en nuestro nuevo hogar en South Kensington, así como también un simposio y un catálogo.

Formar Tierra y Lugar, el proyecto

Equipo del Proyecto

Estamos felices de contar con un equipo comprometido y entusiasmado con el desarrollo del proyecto Making Place Matter como la primera exhibición en nuestro nuevo hogar, una que claramente refleja nuevas ideas en el campo. A través de este proyecto, nuestro objetivo es incorporar la participación de los visitantes como un aspecto sostenido de nuestro programa de exposiciones en el futuro. Poner en práctica un modelo receptivo dentro de nuestro programa de exposiciones nos permitirá contribuir a nuestra comunidad hiperlocal, así como al mundo del arte cerámico local, nacional e internacional.

Nuestros Aliados

Making Place Matter recibió una prestigiosa subvención de exhibición del Centro Pew para las Artes y el Patrimonio y después de eso, agregamos otros excelentes aliados estratégicos a la lista de pares que están haciendo realidad este proyecto
