A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
"The exhibition is curated by donald a clark and Chotsani Elaine Dean and brings to life the pages of their newly published book, Contemporary Black American Ceramic Artists. 'We didn’t initially set out to create an exhibition. We just wanted to turn in a strong and polished manuscript highlighting the work of contemporary Black American ceramic artists. Yet, as we moved forward with the underlying goal of getting the work of a remarkable group of underserved and underrepresented makers before the eyes of as many people as possible, an exhibition formed. '"
