Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean Exhibition Lecture

Hillwood has partnered with the James Renwick Alliance for Craft and their Distinguished Artists Series to present artist Courtney Mattison, as part of a public program at Hillwood. A contemporary ceramic artist featured in the Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean exhibition, Courtney will give a presentation detailing her artistic process and vision. After the lecture, participants can enjoy this special Hillwood exhibition with the artist and Wilfried Zeisler, Hillwood’s chief curator and deputy director.

Four times a year, the James Renwick Alliance brings notable American craft artists from around the country to Washington, D.C. for the Distinguished Artist Series.

There will be time for a Q&A session at the end of the lecture.
