Founded in 1983, the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College has a rich tradition of presenting outstanding exhibitions that enhance teaching in the arts and humanities for students at the Claremont Colleges as well as the surrounding community. Since 1996, the Williamson Gallery has invited guest curators to coordinate its annual ceramics exhibition.

This grant will help fund the color-illustrated catalogue for the 77th Scripps Ceramic Annual, entitled On Fire: Trailblazing Women, curated by Ashwini Bhat, a leading clay ceramic sculptor. The 77th Ceramic Annual will showcase 10 emerging and established ceramic artists from across the country who will exhibit three to four ceramic works each. This exhibition will be on view from January 23 to April 3, 2021.
