Join us for an evening of demonstrations on how materials such as clay, wood, stone, and steel inspire and inform the process of conception. How do fine and industrial artists conceive sculpture? How does conception move into the physicality of art? We will explore materiality and how it shapes an idea.

A gallery of remarkable artwork by students and faculty will be on display and live performances are scheduled throughout the night.

Are you a Crucible artist? Submit your art to the Fireside Lounge gallery.
