Ceramics exhibit to honor Julia Terr

The Sonoma Community Center, the Association of Clay and Glass Artists of California (ACGA) and the Julia Terr Fund for Ceramic Arts will host the exhibition “The Julia Terr Annual: A Juried Exhibition of Functional Ceramic Arts at SCC” from Sept. 7 to 27 with an opening night reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7, at the center, 276 E. Napa St.

The show is a national juried exhibit of functional ceramics whose purpose is to showcase the best studio ceramics from around the country.

Julia Terr was a studio potter in Cloverdale, Calif. who died in a tragic car accident in September of 2009. Her friends and family established a fund in her memory to support her love of ceramics. The fund is housed with the Community Foundation Sonoma County and has supported ceramic projects at nonprofit ceramic institutions around the country.

The show is a fundraiser by and for the Julia Terr Fund and the Sonoma Community Center. It includes 27 nationally recognized ceramic artists, such as Christa Assad, Adam Field, Sam Taylor, James Aarons, and Lee Middleman, and was juried by Forrest Lesch-Middelton.
