The exhibition invites us to consider clay not only as a material shaped by earth\, water\, mineral\, fire\, and air — but as a vessel for understanding sustainability in our contemporary world. Through diverse processes\, forms\, and ideas\, these artists ask: \n\nHow can earth itself be fashioned into art that sustains us?\n\n\nWhat does “sustainability” mean across cultures facing rapid ecological change?\n\nThis exhibition continues the Palo Alto Art Center’s Centering series and is guest curated by Rina Faletti\, Ph.D. \n✨ What to Expect\n\n🎨 Art Activity (FREE)\nHands-on clay-inspired activity connected to the exhibition.\n🎸 Music by Liquor Store\n\n\n🍷 Wine Bar by Comartin Cellars ($)\n\nSip award-winning local wines — with wine sales supporting the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation and helping keep exhibitions free and accessible to the community. \n(Drinks available for purchase\, including wine\, beer and non-alcoholic options.) \nWe’re thrilled to welcome Comartin Cellars as our Featured Wine Partner for the evening.

Swappable clothing should be on hangers. \n\nDrop-off items in advance at the Art Center front desk Wednesday\, February 12\, Thursday\, February 13\, and Friday\, February 14 from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. or on Saturday\, February 15 from 10 a.m. to noon.
