This exhibition at the Harvard Ceramics Program is inspired by the Harvard Art Museums’ current special exhibition, "Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes, and Kings." Fourteen internationally recognized contemporary sculptors and vessel makers were invited to seek inspiration in subject matter, form, function, and/or culture of origin from these ancient vessels, which illustrate how shapes, artistic forms, ideas, and traditions have exchanged across borders throughout time.

Opening reception 4 - 7 p.m. October 13.
