Founded in 1983, the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College presents exhibitions spanning a wide range of art. Whether historical or contemporary, 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 organize the annual ceramics exhibition.

PAA will partially fund the catalog for the 78th Scripps Ceramics Annual, which presents new art in clay and will be on view in the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery on the Scripps campus from January – April 2023. The exhibition will be entitled, Words on Clay: Please Handle Carefully, and will include the work of 12 contemporary artists.
