Ephemeral Forms: Works by Shadow May, will ope at the AVA Gallery with a reception on Friday, Nov. 7, from 5:30-8 p.m. The exhibit will run from Nov. 7-25.
Mr. May received his Bachelor degree in English and Art History from the University of Alaska. He then completed a Ceramics work-study at Penland School of Crafts and went on to major in Ceramics at Haywood Community College. Mr. May has had a studio in Chattanooga since 2000 and he has shown his work throughout the southeast and beyond.
Mr. May received the opportunity for a solo show by winning Best In Show in last winter’s AVA Juried Members Exhibition. Applications for that exhibit were accepted from any current AVA member, and juror, Paul LaJeunesse, selected artworks. This cycle of a juried member show culminating in a solo showcase of the Best In Show award winner is a tradition that AVA plans to continue with the 2014 Juried Members Exhibition in December.
