Founded in 1983, the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College presents four annual exhibitions spanning a wide range of art. Whether historical or contemporary, Western or Asian, exhibitions enrich the teaching of art and humanities at Scripps as well as the cultural community of Claremont and environs.  Since 1996, the Williamson Gallery has invited guest curators to coordinate the annual ceramics exhibition.

The grant will support the color-illustrated catalogue for the 73rd Ceramics Annual, and will be curated by Joan Takayama-Ogawa.  The theme will be focusing on “A Sense of Place and Play” and will run January 2017 to April 2017.
