The Wassenberg Art Center is humbled and pleased to announce the first exhibit of the late American ceramic artist, Clyde Burt, since his death in 1981. This exhibit will run from February 4-24 in conjunction with the Indiana Wildlife Artists Association display. Burt is considered a nationally important pioneer of American Studio ceramics. He won the Art Institute of Chicago Designer-Craftsman Award in 1957 and there are pieces of his in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC. A public reception will be held on Saturday, February 4 from 6-8 pm. The Wassenberg Art Center is extremely fortunate to be able to share with you this poignant, visual story in the form of dramatic tile wall murals.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19344\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-19344\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thevwindependent.com\/?attachment_id=19344\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19344 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/scratchboardHemdalMR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Ram&quot; by Carol Hemdal, scratchboard.
