2015 Juror
The juror for Art in Craft Media 2015 is ceramic artist and educator Wayne Higby, whose unique vision of the American landscape and its manifestation in work ranging from vessel form and tile to sculpture and architectural installation has brought him international recognition. Higby's work is held in the collections of numerous art museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. He is a professor and the Robert C. Turner Chair of Ceramic Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, where he also serves as the director and chief curator of the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum.

The exhibition is made possible by the Sylvia L. Rosen Endowment for Fine Art in Craft Media. Sylvia Rosen is a respected potter and educator who taught ceramics at Buffalo State, the University at Buffalo, and Amherst Senior High School. In 1987, she and her husband, Nathan, created the Sylvia L. Rosen Endowment for Fine Art in Craft Media at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, which has made possible juried biennial craft art exhibitions with purchase awards, alternating with biennial craft art lectures by field specialists. The first exhibition took place in 1988. Since then, these events have been a major force in the advancement and recognition of craft media in Western New York.
