We will showcase ceramic sculptors from both Sisko Gallery and new artists from the Puget Sound area.

Everett DuPen studied at both Yale and Harvard before leaving to study at the American Academy of Art in Rome followed by study in bronze casting in Florence and art in India, Nepal and Egypt. Later, during his eight decades working as a professor at the University of Washington, Everett played a major role in building the UW’s Sculpture Division into a nationally and internationally known group. Most well known for his beautiful figurative pieces in terra cotta, stone, wood and bronze, Dupen taught, influenced and was a friend and mentor to generations of national and Seattle artists. His sculpture can be found in many public parks and buildings as well as in museums and private collections. Among them are the DuPen Fountain at the Seattle Center and the fountain at the Joel Pritchard Building at the State Capitol.
