The Japan America Society of Chicago will host a tour at the Art Institute of Chicago. Join Janice Katz as she guides us through the ongoing exhibition of contemporary Japanese ceramics by 36 women artists, “Radical Clay.” As a group, these artists are far less interested in and bound by tradition than many contemporary ceramicists at work in Japan. This ability to innovate, to invent new ways of working with clay and glaze, and the skill of each artist to carve out their own style and pioneering technique, is what makes these works both awe-inspiring and unusual.

Location: Art Institute of Chicago

111 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago

Hours: 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
