On Location at The Bray
The Archie Bray Foundation (The Bray) provides free access to some of the finest ceramic art found anywhere in the nation.
The Bray Gallery and Visitor Center, open year-round, houses work for sale by current and former resident artists, and the North Gallery, open seasonally, features rotating exhibitions. During the summer The Bray's 3,500-square foot Warehouse Gallery, a converted brickyard building, features an exhibition of work by current resident artists..
Solo exhibitions by departing resident artists take place at different times during the year, and additional Bray exhibitions are held at galleries throughout the country.
The Bray grounds contain hundreds of ceramic artifacts and site-specific sculptures created by former resident artists. Visitors are invited to explore the grounds, and self-guided tours can be taken anytime during daylight hours. Special group tours can be arranged through The Bray office.
The permanent ceramics collection contains more than 1,000 pieces and continues to grow. It includes the work of past resident artists as well as several historical pieces, including work by world-renowned artists Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Peter Voulkos, Rudy Autio, Ken Ferguson and David Shaner.
