MUSCLE MEMORY COLLECTIVE (LAS CRUCES, NM) AND EARTH TRANSFORMED 2023 MARCH 16 – APRIL 15*

Muscle Memory is a mixedmedia collaborative project between ceramicist Joshua R. Clark and photographer Bree Lamb. Through the pairings of referential and uncanny objects and images, the artists seek to create surface visions bound in expectation, excess, and desire, offering complex reflections of a capitalist American landscape.

Earth Transformed 2023 features six innovative and skilled ceramic artists from the region including Richard James, Justin Paikreese, Kelsey Duncan, Dallas Wooten, Shoko Teruyama, and Carol Snyder. Creating both functional objects and sculptures, these renowned artists transform clay through a diverse range of techniques, ideas and intentions. From imagined insect-like specimens to representations of the human condition, they push the boundaries of what is obtainable with clay while maintaining the highest levels of craft and precision.

CAROLYN HARPER (NARBERTH, PA)

FACING THE FORGOTTEN: PORTRAIT OF MASS INCARCERATION

SARAH NGUYEN (COLUMBIA, MO)

SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO THE EARTH

APRIL 24 – MAY 27

Carolyn Harper’s work consists of hand sewn, large quilts, often with hand dyed fabric; and hand embroidered batik portraits. They provide very large, graphic images that call attention to those forgotten by society. They are visible markers that shout out: ‘Look at me! See me!’

Sarah Nguyen’s storytelling is central to this series of cutfiber panels. The blade-cut, intricate compositions are mostly landscape based and feature symbolic motifs— flora, fauna, and an everchanging moon—to elicit childhood memories of myths, fables, and folklore.

The City of Kettering and the Kettering Parks Foundation launched a multi-year, three phased renovation to update Rosewood Arts Center in September 2021. This spring season, in April 2023, we will open our Phase II of this project—most notably featuring our new dance and ceramic studio spaces.

The new ceramics studio features state-of-the-art equipment, kilns, other amenities and additional capacity to support creativity in clay, reflecting the community’s desire for more classes and opportunities to participate. Studio orientations and classes begin in April; you can find the information on our website at www.playkettering.org.

Our popular dance studio was also included in Phase II; a professional sprung dance floor and additional square footage allow more space for movement.

The renovation will continue through the end of 2023, with the addition of renovated glass and metals studios, painting, drawing and printmaking spaces, and a renovated theater. Rosewood will remain open and continue to offer art education classes and gallery programming as the last phase of construction concludes.

We look forward to sharing our new spaces with you!

Every effort is made to ensure the safety of the participants and to provide them with first-class recreational activities, facilities and parks. In the event of a serious accident or illness, it is the policy of the City of Kettering to:

• Contact the Kettering Fire Department Paramedics to perform first aid and, when necessary, recommend transport of the victim to a hospital; and

• Reach the parent/guardian as soon as the situation allows.
