Light Art Space is pleased to present Of Mind & Matter, a self-juried member exhibition of The New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists (formerly New Mexico Potters Association).
This is a statewide exhibition of NMPCA members representing an uncommon breadth of vision in ceramic art, both functional and sculptural.
Public reception on Friday, April 4th, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Awards announced at 5:30 pm.
The Flash Gallery features Channeling The Wild, artwork by Silver City artist Carlene Roters. Roters is influenced by dreams and taken with images that she has seen and finds striking. She also channels images of what she needs or sees missing in the environment through her paintings.
Various media are on display, including wood carvings, monotypes, and paintings.

Juror: Bianka Groves
As we navigate an increasingly complex world, our perception shapes our understanding, influences our actions, and defines our relationship with the world around us. Through perception, we interpret and interact with our surroundings, experiences, and emotions—constantly shaping and reshaping our understanding of reality. How does ceramic art capture these moments of insight and connection?
Exhibition dates: July 1 – 20th, 2025
