Opening Reception: March 21, 4-6 pm | Artist Talk: March 21, 6 pm

The exhibition Evolving Clay: Where Tradition Meets Transformation, presented at Lucy Lacoste Gallery, and curated by Ghanian artist and curator Michael Dela Dika, explores the responsiveness of clay to story, identity, and movement.

Lucy Lacoste Gallery is honored to present the ground-breaking group exhibition Evolving Clay: Where Tradition Meets Transformation, up through April 18, 2026 in Concord Massachusetts. Evolving Clay invites viewers into a space where ancient material meets contemporary art for radical storytelling and cultural reclamation. Curated by ceramist and professor Michael Dela Dika of Ghana, in collaboration with Lucy Lacoste Gallery, the exhibition traces clay's expansive journey from its utilitarian roots to its reimagining as a vehicle for political commentary and spiritual depth.

Chris Gustin recently mounted “Wild Things,” his first solo show at the Lucy Lacoste Gallery in Concord, Massachusetts, and their long-anticipated collaboration was well worth the wait. In this body of new stoneware sculpture, the maturity of his craft deepens into a remarkable synthesis of earthly and spiritual concerns.

Lucy Lacoste Gallery will be presenting “Of Root, Stem, and Leaf,” a show highlighting painter and printmaker Ilana Manolson that will run from November 22 through December 31st.

"Between earth and sky, clouds and spirits, Gustin’s new show at Lucy Lacoste Gallery shapes worlds where the tangible and the imagined converge."
