Blue Collar Ceramics by Kelly and Kyle Phelps
 

WED, APRIL 12 | 5-7 PM | PROGRAM & RECEPTION

Building on their youth, raised in a blue-collar/factory environment in Indiana, identical twin artists and educators Kelly & Kyle Phelps produce art about the working-class, race, and the everyday struggles of the common man and woman. Everyday people who worked at various factories, steel mills, foundries, coal mines, and railroads of the American rust belt, and Appalachian regions of the United States, provide inspiration for the creation of their mixed-media ceramic works. Join us for their discussion of inspirations, works, and approaches to art making.

This program is organized in conjunction with the Current Forms: Ohio Figurative Ceramics exhibition open through June 10, 2023.
