Julia Galloway
Oct. 14 – Nov. 14 
Julia Galloway calls herself a “utilitarian potter.” The word captures the domestic functionality of her vessels – cups, pitchers, sugar bowls, and creamers – but does not suggest the elaborate and engaging ornamentation she endows them with: letters, numbers, architectural and natural imagery, in fine lines and glowing colors.

Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia
Oct. 24 – Feb. 28 
The pursuit of the groovy was culture-wide in the 1960s and ’70s, and in the search for a better, or at least different, tomorrow, artists and designers were in the rule-busting, mindblowing vanguard.

Museum of Glass 
Every Soil Bears Not Everything
to May 15 
At last, a career retrospective of the innovative duo, Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace. When the two first teamed up at the Pilchuck Glass School 36 years ago, a technique was born: They made “drawings” in bent wire, colored them in glass cane, then applied them to vessels in the hot shop. In sculptures, installations, and glass, the artists continue to explore how the 2D disciplines of drawing and painting can be integral elements of works in 3D. Within this exhibition, the museum also offers a closeup look at the partners’ recent Botanicals series of plants immortalized in layers of glass (on view Oct. 24 – Apr. 3).
