Exhibit runs January 16 – February 9; reception at 5 p.m. Friday, January 19
The show is about the late Don Reitz, who created ceramic masterpieces on his ranch in Clarkdale, and the artists who followed him and kept Reitz’s vision alive. To the outside world, Don Reitz was considered one of the fathers of modern ceramics. In its press release, the College says that “This show is about Sheryl and Ted and the group of artists who have joined them to build on this vision. `One by one, they just started showing up and before we knew it, we were surrounded by Don’s memories and the people he inspired,” said Sheryl Leigh-DaVault.’”
There is a reception reception at 5 p.m. Friday, January 19 at the Art Gallery on the Verde Campus.
The event is free and open to the public. Complimentary small bites and wine available for purchase from the Southwest Wine Center.
The failure of the Foundation to make this contribution, which has millions in its reserves, was discovered by Representative Deb McCasland who raised the issue during the Board meeting. (See Unexpended Plant Fund Report, p. 19 of 84 p report, which is contained in the agenda for the August 9, 2016 meeting.)
