2022 Honor Roll

2022 HONOR ROLL

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR I am honored to share some 2022 highlights. A year of progress and excitement as we hosted 54 artists on the historic Bray campus—residents from around the globe, a special artist cohort invited by Theaster Gates, visiting artists leading future programming and centering traditional and contemporary Indigenous clay practice, and an urban youth group from Manchester Craftsman’s Guild, among others.

As the new Executive Director, I’m also reflecting on my first winter at The Bray, in Helena, Montana, and I am full of gratitude to be here, with you all, serving our evergrowing community. The wintry days when the air is tinted with pinks and blues and pale yellows, the shapes of trees and mountains finding redefinition with fresh coats of snow. I experienced the quietness winter brings to The Bray, sounds muffled by the snow as the paths shrink back to those trod by only long-term residents and staff. And now, with readiness, we prepare for the excitement of summer and the energy of more activity on campus.

I welcome you to join us for an open studio tour, an artist conversation, shop the Sales Gallery, experience a class, or for those outside Helena, stream the next Artist Amplified talk or listen to one of the many podcast episodes produced

by The Brickyard Network, visit our online Sales Gallery featuring works from current and past residents, or stock up on supplies and talk to an expert at Bray Clay. As ever, the extraordinary Bray residents, staff and board are leading us forward and together we are actively creating opportunities for equal access in the field of craft. The Bray is, and always has been a place made by artists for artists.

People, coming together through art to create a unique community, to make a difference,

2

and I thank you for your involvement. Donating time, creativity, financial and moral support— the impact is real and keeps The Bray thriving becoming stronger, more connected. As a nonprofit approaching our 75th anniversary, The Bray relies on the support of individuals, foundations and businesses to promote excellence in clay through the residency program, education, gallery, clay materials and technology. I am grateful to you for your commitment and belief in The Bray’s mission.

We were fortunate to welcome many makers to Montana to work in various studios at The Bray over the past year. We served over 54 artists from across the nation and internationally, through residencies and our dynamic visiting artist program. Including the highly competitive selection of long-term residents: Shea Burke- Rochester, NY Uriel Caspi- Haifa, Israel Colby Charpentier- Smithfield, RI Soojin Choi- Chang Won, South Korea Alessandro Gallo- Geona, Italy Sydnie Jimenez- Rossville, Georgia Yeonsoo Kim- Athens, GA Yeh Rim Lee- Cheong Ju, South Korea Simphiwe Mbunyuza- Johannesburg, South Africa Candice Methe- Falmouth, MA Kristy Moreno- Inglewood, CA Janina Myronowa – Wroclaw, Poland & Ukraine Austin Riddle- Salt Lake City, UT Kelsie Rudolph-Bozeman, MT Megan Thomas- Hamilton, OH Maura Wright- Columbia, MO

We welcomed a wonderfully talented group of summer residents in 2022, including: Adam Lefebvre- Dousman, WI Joon Hee Kim- Oakville, ON Melissa Joseph- Brooklyn, NY Haylie Jimenez- Chattanooga, TN

Katie Parker and Guy Davis- Scottsdale, AZ Elizabeth Peña-Alvarez- Cranston, RI Justin Reese- Youngstown, OH Lindsay Rogers- Johnson City, TN, Aili Schmeltz- Los Angeles, CA Austyn Taylor- Rochester, NY

Adept visiting artists included: Sharif Bey, Jessica Brandl, Adam Chau, Raven Halfmoon, Michelle Im, Yoonjee Kwak and Namdoo Kim, Heesoo Lee, Sanjit Sethi, and Chris Riccardo.

And finally, in 2022 we Introduced a new, local short-term fall residency, aimed to connect and shine a light on our Helena community.

Inaugural Helena artists included: Daniela Abel, Jon Bashioum, Michaela Bromberek, Breena Buettner, Heesoo Lee, George McCauley, and Kelly McLaughlin.

As ever, direct artist support is at the heart of The Bray’s mission, and we are eager to support the next stages of these artists’ careers and continue amplifying their important voices. The Bray has long been a place where collaboration and creativity are inspired by bringing together artists who have the time and space to work and to connect. For me, you’ll find me in my Shaner studio most mornings and evenings, before work and after. As always, I have more ideas than time but there is something so great about bookending the day with studio work, connecting with the residents-and the weekends-just enough time to make an amazing mess!

In 2022 we officially honored the importance of a critical founding artist by naming the Frances

Senska Center for Education and Engagement, serving the community year-round, in addition to announcing a new ongoing scholarship, the Senska Scholarship to be awarded this summer and future summers as a priority to female and female identifying artists. Our goal is to continue assessing and reducing participation barriers for all Bray programs and activities.

As I close this note, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the residents, staff and board for your commitment and support of The Bray. We are optimistic about the future and I look forward to connecting with you in meaningful and inspiring ways.

Rebecca Harvey, Executive Director

SENSKA SCHOLARSHIP The Bray staff and board are thrilled to announce the new Senska Scholarship which will invest in future short-term Bray resident artists, given as a priority to female or female identifying artists. This scholarship was established to honor Frances Senska and her critical impact throughout The Bray’s history and into the present.

Heartfelt gratitude to Sue and Hank Ricklefs for their early support and enthusiasm to ensure this scholarship become a reality. Also want to thank the donors to the 2022 Bray Benefit Auction who helped support this investment.

WINDGATE ENDOWMENT We are grateful to the dedicated individual supporters who invest in The Bray, and we wouldn’t be able to exist without them. As the longest running residency program in United States, The Bray Resident Artist Program offers an unprecedented opportunity to work within a community of global artists actively creating new work.

The generosity of our individual supporters fosters some of the most talented ceramic makers working today and ensures The Bray remains at the forefront of innovation and creativity. It takes the hands of many to sustain all that the Bray does. From our state-of-the-art studios, classrooms, and kilns to our Research library and historic grounds—The Bray is dedicated to serving a diverse community of artists, educators, and arts enthusiasts while providing the space and time to expand the field of ceramics. We are truly fortunate and thank everyone who has helped make The Bray “a fine place to work” In 2022 The Bray received a $15 million endowment from the Windgate Charitable Foundation to ensure the future stability of the residency program and to replace their previous annual support and enhance all aspects of our current programs and future initiatives. We are humbled by this transformative gift with our longtime partners at Windgate Charitable Foundation and invite you to join their investment in securing support for current and future generations of artists.

“WE ARE DEEPLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK AND VISION OF THE BRAY. OUR SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT REPRESENTS BOTH THE TRUST WE HAVE GOING FORWARD AND A DEEP BELIEF IN THE MISSION AND VALUES. WE ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO JOIN US IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT CERAMIC ARTS INSTITUTION.” — PATRICIA FORGY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF WINDGATE FOUNDATION

THE HISTORY Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Bray is located three miles from downtown Helena, Montana, on the site of the former Western Clay Manufacturing Company.

Set against the wooded foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the 26-acre former brickyard is internationally recognized as a gathering place for emerging and established ceramic artists.

The nearby mountains and historic brick factory ruins provide a backdrop for the creative environment; more important is the dynamic arts community created by the resident artists that continue to come to The Bray to work, share experiences, and explore new ideas.

A NEW ATTITUDE TOWARDS CLAY. Rudy Autio, Lillian Boschen and Peter Voulkos were the first resident managers of The Bray.

The volume and quality of their work drew attention to the new program and attracted many talented and ambitious potters. A landmark workshop in 1952, with potters Shoji Hamada and Bernard Leach, and philosopher Soetsu Yanagi, had a profound influence on both Autio and Voulkos. Neither had seen clay treated so loosely and freely.

SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE BRAY HAS DRAWN MORE THAN 600 CERAMIC ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. These include such well-known ceramists as Betty Woodman, Theaster Gates, Jun Kaneko, Virgil Ortiz, Patti Warashina, John and Andrea Gill, Cauleen Smith, Eva Kwong, Sharif Bey, Beth Cavener, Chris Antemann, Chris Staley, Zemer Peled and Akio Takamori among many others.

EXPANSION OF PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS: Directors Ken Ferguson, David Shaner, and Dave Cornell worked hard at The Bray in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, to establish a sound financial base by selling pots, clay, and ceramic supplies, and by offering classes and workshops. Kurt Weiser’s tenure as Resident Director at The Bray from 1977 to 1988 saw an expansion of the clay business with Chip Clawson as manager, and a successful fundraising effort to purchase the brickyard after it closed in 1960. Carol Roorbach became Resident Director in 1989, establishing a permanent endowment. Roorbach also initiated procedures for improved storage and documentation of the extensive and growing Bray permanent collection.

Josh DeWeese became Resident Director in 1991, and worked to establish a Resident Artist Scholarship fund which helps residents to enjoy studio space rent-free. In addition, The Bray now offers a growing number of resident artist fellowships which provide annual stipends for juried resident artists, and the Peter Voulkos Fellowship Fund supports an annual visiting artist award to a prominent, world-renowned ceramic artist to work at The Bray.

Most notably, The Bray, under DeWeese’s leadership, successfully completed a $2.5 million capital campaign to construct a stateof-the-art resident studio facility, expand endowment and strengthen annual operations.

THE FOUNDATION

TileX thru the Potter’s Shrine in the snow CELEBRATING MILESTONES AND MORE: Upon DeWeese’s retirement in 2006, Steven Young Lee accepted the position as Resident Artist Director. In 2008 and as part of a comprehensive kiln project, seven new state-of-the-art, energy-efficient kilns were installed in the Shaner Studio’s kiln room, both reducing costs to artists and dramatically increasing the range of work resident artists can create.

A celebration of The Bray’s 60th anniversary in 2011 featured a three-day artist symposium that brought together artists from around the globe and raised more than a half-million dollars. Further, also beginning in 2011, The Bray received the first of two, two-year grants from the Windgate Charitable Foundation that, along with generous support from individual donors, have made it possible for The Bray to provide fellowship and scholarship support to all of its 10 long-term and 10 summer resident artists.

In 2022, Rebecca Harvey became the Executive Director of The Bray and continues the work of enhancing facilities and educational opportunities to meet the needs of today’s ceramic artists.

2022 HONOR ROLL

Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts (The Bray) was founded at the foothills of the Montana Rockies in 1951 by entrepreneur, brickmaker, and avid arts patron Archie Bray, who intended it to be a place to “make available for all who are seriously interested in the ceramic arts, a fine place to work.”

The primary mission is to provide an environment and connection with other serious artists that stimulates creative work in ceramics.

Located on the site of the former Western Clay Manufacturing Company, the 26-acre historic brickyard campus has more than 17 buildings, including a 12,000-square-foot resident artist studio facility, a new education and research facility, multiple sales and exhibition galleries, renovated administrative offices, and a facility for ceramic retail and manufacturing. The property is open to artists, students, gallery visitors, and ceramic supply customers, as well as the general public for classes, gallery visits, retail activity, self-guided tours, and structured group visits.

THE MISSION

70th ANNIVERSARY

The Archie Bray Foundation is actively committed to promoting, celebrating, and sustaining the ceramic arts through the residency program, education, gallery, ceramic materials and technology, and community engagement on a local, national, and international scale. In the words of Archie himself, The Bray makes available, “for all who are seriously and sincerely interested in any of the branches of the ceramic arts, a fine place to work”.

In 2021 The Bray celebrated its 70th anniversary, and its commitment to contributing to equity in the field of ceramics is stronger than ever.

The organization is committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging among its artists, staff, board, and all members of the community.

FACILITIES

Rebecca Harvey plowing

All resident artists receive free studio space, access to a vast range of kilns and equipment, exhibition opportunities and promotion, discounts on materials and firings, and access to a clay manufacturing facility. The organization also has substantial international impact, bringing together artists from all around the world, providing them with the facilities and freedom to explore their creative voices. Since its inception, more than 600 ceramic artists have come to The Bray to work.

“HAVING THE TIME AND SPACE TO FREELY CREATE WORK OUTSIDE OF MY NORMAL LIFE SURROUNDED BY NATURE AND THE HISTORY OF THE BRAY WAS AN INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE AS AN ARTIST. AS A WORKING ARTIST, IT’S SOMETIMES HARD TO ENVISION NEW WORK OR TAKE RISKS. MY TIME AT THE BRAY ALLOWED ME TO EXPLORE IDEAS THAT BOTH CHALLENGED AND STRENGTHENED MY STUDIO PRACTICE. IN ADDITION, BEING ABLE TO COLLABORATE AND EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH OTHER ARTISTS FUELED MY CREATIVITY AND CREATED A UNIQUE SPACE FOR BUILDING CULTURAL COMMUNITY WHICH, I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT.” –MICHELLE IM, 2022 VISITING ARTIST

The Bray offers 10 long-term residences that last up to two years, 10 summer residencies, and 10 to 15 short-term residencies throughout the year. Artists come to The Bray to work intensively on creating new bodies of work and/or to examine, explore, and challenge what is possible in their individual studio practice.
