ARTIST FEATURE: Alexis Tellefsen @tellefsenatelier, a participating artist in “You Deserve Your Flowers,” a group ceramics exhibition curated by Lena Chin @lenalaiceramics. During a time of immense social-political violence against people of color, women, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, this exhibition offers a place of respite and recognition. Join us for the opening celebration in our gallery on Saturday, May 17th, from 4 to 7 PM!

As a production potter and designer of functional wares the majority of Alexis’s studio time is spent making work that is meant to be used. In a world where there is a clear focus towards consuming less, usefulness and purpose are qualities that she values and applies to her work. She believes that daily objects can and should be beautiful. And whenever possible, they should bring joy.

Tellefsen Atelier is her line of small batch, wheel-thrown ceramics. It is a business and a job but it is also an experiment in living life on her own terms. Of independence and curiosity. Of successes and failures. It’s an expression of herself and a lesson in becoming.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the opening

Thank you to everyone who came out for the opening reception of “Shared Spaces!” It was wonderful seeing the culmination of these student’s hard work, and the pride they took in seeing their pieces in a gallery space. Here’s to 40 years of Art-In-Education in partnership with the Kingston City School District @kingstoncsd!

Over four weeks, students worked in our Papermaking, Intaglio, and Silkscreen studios, engaging with the foundations of these artistic processes through experimentation and collaboration.Teaching artists SR Lejeune, Celia Shaheen @gothmomgothmom, Gil Dickinson @rathertendersubject, and Paria Ahmadi @_safety_matches_explored these central themes in each studio’s lesson planning, exemplifying how studios are shared spaces of creativity and play.

AIE is made possible with support from NoVo novoinkingston, a branch of the NoVo Foundation, Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, New York State Council of the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York Legislature, Klock Kingston Foundation, and Stewart’s Holiday Match Program.

ARTIST FEATURE: Viv Siqueriros @viv.ceramics, a participating artist in “You Deserve Your Flowers,” a group ceramics exhibition curated by Lena Chin @lenalaiceramics. During a time of immense social-political violence against people of color, women, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, this exhibition offers a place of respite and recognition. Join us for the opening celebration in our gallery on Saturday, May 17th, from 4 to 7 PM!

Drawn to making socially interactive sculptures, Viv siqueiros plays with familial memory, queer identity, and clay kinship. Working in clay studios since their adolescence, siqueiros traces years of mentorship and sustained practice within their work. Siqueiros studies ceramics within and beyond art institutions, finding connections in and working towards collective spaces. Currently residing as a guest on Nisenan Land, commonly known as Sacramento, siqueiros has found grounding in reconnection to earth and body through communal farming.
