Opening Reception for Fractured Foundations: 250 Years of American History

Saturday, June 27, 2026 • 4–6 PM • In Person

Join us for the opening reception for Fractured Foundations: 250 Years of American History. For this exhibition, which coincides with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, AMOCA invited ceramic artists to reconsider a historical event through the lens of contemporary art, challenging historical narratives and offering a more accurate perspective on our country. The work selected for this exhibition demonstrates resilience, injustice, triumph, and the impact of federal, state, and/or local policies, while also reflecting upon or referencing an event in US history.

4:00 PM: Doors Open

4:30 PM: Opening Remarks
