Opening Reception Date: Thursday, June 6th

Show Description: “Sense of Joy” is an interactive exhibit of ceramic sculptures made to delight each of the five senses. Visitors to this show are encouraged to not only visually admire the works of art, but also to explore and discover their functions in relation to taste, sound, touch and smell. While these pieces have practical uses (some more so than others…) , their true function is to create whimsy, surprise, and joy.
