Ceramic artist Ron Lederer will present his informal gallery talk on Tuesday, May 22, from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm. at the Centennial Art Center. Second only to the process of creating his clay pieces, Ron thoroughly enjoys discussing his work with art enthusiasts. He says, “I formulate the shapes of my clay vessels using wheel thrown and handbuilt methods of construction. The … clay I use allows the vivid colors of the underglaze and oxides I airbrush onto the surfaces to retain their brilliance after kiln firing... My work incorporates a strong Asian influence, often combining the individual cultures, such as placing a handle reminiscent of a Japanese Torii Gate atop a classic Chinese ginger jar or fitting a bulbous Korean vase with a Chinese pagoda multi-roofed structure… I think the spirit of the artist reflects in the work – each piece is unique and contains its own soul.”

Frist Fridays - Rodney Crowell, a Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and artist, brings poetry and earthy tautness to the soundtrack of people in the cracks, carving out lives that matter-if only to themselves and the people they know. (more) Born in Houston, his songwriting led him, in 1972, to Nashville, where Emmylou Harris heard the young writer's songs. Crowell soon became a potent alchemic property in the sound the queen of hippie country was conjuring. Frist Fridays take place May through August from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on the final Friday of each month. Patrons are invited to enjoy an evening of live music, light snacks and beverages, as well as the diverse exhibitions on view in the Frist Center's galleries. Frist Fridays take place rain or shine. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to the events.
