Join us at New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art for our 8th annual exhibition showcasing work by our most recent artists in residence.
Kritika Soni is a current resident artist for New Harmony Clay Project. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi which believes nothing can ever be perfect, Kritika explores clay as a medium to find balance between perfection and imperfection. She celebrates the concept of decay and deconstruction in her work with a play of floral motifs and layering.
Lecture is free and open to public.

Lecture is free and open to public.

Join us as we explore the work of Vlad Basarab, current resident artist for New Harmony Clay Project. Basarab brings to the attention of the 21st century public the human need to safe guard the past.

Lecture is free and open to public.
Join us as we explore the work of Sydney Ewerth, current resident artist for New Harmony Clay Project. Sydney will discuss the significance of the “lived space”– our tangible existence and reality, and the “imagined space”– where memory and its capacity to become distorted over time, exist simultaneously and how clay aesthetically translates a tangible record of who we are. Lecture is free and open to public.

Lecture is free and open to the public, and hosted by the New Harmony Kiwanis International Club.
