Sharif Bey: Homecoming Artist Talk

Join us for an artist talk with Pittsburgh-born ceramic sculptor Sharif Bey, reflecting on his exhibition "Sharif Bey: Homecoming". After more than twenty-five years, Bey returns to the city that shaped him. He’ll discuss what it means to come full circle as an artist, the inspiration behind his work, and community as a throughline in his practice — including the dialogue between ceramics and fine art, adornment and identity, and Pittsburgh’s creative ecosystem for the next generation.

Additional support is provided by Albertz Benda NY/LA, Ellen and Jack J. Kessler, and Karl W. Salatka. The accompanying exhibition catalogue is funded by Arts, Equity, & Education Fund™, The Fine Foundation, and Concept Art Gallery.
