Essays by various contributors, including Albert, relate the complex intertwining of Albert’s passionate and artistic life.

Salomon, along with colleague Professor Bill Brouillard who has taught at CIA for 27 years, have created an exceptional environment for students to study, learn and embark upon a career in the arts. Department Director Salomon’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide and she is represented in the collections of The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH; Los Angeles Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England; the Manchester City Art Galleries, Manchester, England; and the National Museum of History of Taiwan. Brouillard is represented in collections across the world, including Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN; the Nara National Museum in Nara, Japan; Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo, Japan; Tom Judy Collection in Washington, DC; the Detroit Museum of Art [DIA], Detroit, MI; and The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH.
The program of the Institute’s Ceramics Department embraces both tradition and innovation, exposing students to the rich history of the ancient medium of clay while exploring its potential for expression of contemporary ideas. The exhibit illustrates this and showcases artists who are actively producing ceramicists. Featured alumnae’s work will include Eddie Dominguez, Linda Arbuckle, Lisa Clague, Neil Patterson, Kristen Cliffel, George Bowes, Deirdre Daw, Kevin Snipes, Julie Tesser, Susan Collett, and faculty members Judith Salomon, Bill Broulliard, Kirk Mangus, Eva Kwong, Susan Sipos, and Mary Jo Bole.
Experience the achievements of this highly regarded department and its noted ceramic artists who are influential creators in the field today. Please join us to celebrate 30 years of CIA Ceramics.
