In an additional gallery, PVAC honors the legacy of the ceramics studio established in the late 1960s by showcasing the talented artists associated with the program, former and current instructors, and workshop leaders, many achieving international acclaim. “Water, Earth & Fire” includes 110 artworks by 39 artists.
