Please join us on Friday, March 14th, 6-9pm for the opening reception of New Friends: the 9th Annual Cranbrook x SAIC Ceramics Exhibition hosted by old friends.

The Cranbrook Academy of Art x SAIC Ceramics Department partnership was founded in the Fall of 2015 by SAIC alumni Katie Doyle and Cranbrook alumni Ebitenyefa Baralaye and has occurred annually (with a brief interruption during the COVID pandemic). This ongoing collaboration fosters cross-institutional dialogue around shared material engagements and presents an opportunity to lay groundwork for sustained connections across the greater midwestern region.
