From the Fire: Contemporary Korean Ceramics is a compelling traveling exhibition that brings the finest of contemporary Korean ceramics in the largest survey of works to come to North America.

From the Fire assembles 54 contemporary Korean ceramic artists whose pieces incorporate traditional techniques with new influences and innovative methods to create both functional and sculptural works. The 108 works in the exhibition date from the early 1990s through 2003, with many created especially for the tour. A full-color book accompanies the exhibition.

 Kids Reconstruct with Creativity
August 15 - September 30, 2006
Atrium Galleries
Kids Reconstruct with Creativity is an exhibition of art by Mississippi children who were affected by Katrina, as well as art by children from across the country who empathize with those from the Gulf Coast. The exhibition of more than 50 works has been organized by The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, a non-profit which also organizes the museum’s annual Scholastic Art & Writing Awards contest. Creative expression is a powerful form of therapy for these children as they translate their feelings into works of art at one of the most stressful and turbulent times of their lives. The exhibition is comprised of paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures, as well as poetry and written pieces expressing the emotions of the children. The exhibition is generously sponsored by Target. |
