Crawford Campus Center Gallery

At the center of The Episcopal Academy campus is a full-scale art gallery space.

The Crawford Campus Center Gallery is an integral part of the visual arts curriculum at The Episcopal Academy. Through exhibitions and projects that include curated work of visiting artists, cross-curricular collaborations, and student shows, the Gallery inspires students, educators, artists, and all who visit.

Open during the school day (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and for special evening receptions, the Crawford Campus Center Gallery provides the EA community a space to explore and appreciate art together.

There is always something happening in the Crawford Campus Center Gallery. Learn more about upcoming and past gallery shows below.

 

Current Show: Reaching 2350º

Reaching 2350º features pieces from Chester County ceramicist Jackie Henisee. She creates her pottery both in her home studio in Malvern, and at a local studio in Chester Springs, where she wood-fires in a kiln she helped build with an community of fellow ceramic artists. Her work, characterized by natural forms and surface treatments, is brought to life through a variety of firing techniques. The wood firing process is the technique she is most drawn to, where the interplay of flame, ash, and salt adds a unique, spontaneous quality to each piece. All are invited to explore her pieces in the Crawford Campus Center Gallery now through Friday, April 4.

"EA's gallery gives a finished sense to the hours spent in the studio by providing a unique space in which work can be widely appreciated."
