This exhibition merges ancient mythological figures with a personal iconography to push the boundaries of the ideal and discover a hidden utopic vision. Paintings by Vladimir Dikarev explore a similar landscape of forgotten worlds and future dreams. The father\/daughter duo opens a window into a wondrous view.

Adaptation of Mingei-inspired ideals within the American heartland drove a vision of artfulness in daily life.\u00a0<em>Claytopia<\/em>\u00a0will engage regional, national and international artists, thinkers, curators, educators, and students to produce an array of exhibitions and experiences that build on, respond to, celebrate, and push against ceramic art\u2019s diverse legacies.
