Our Pioneers: A conversation with Andrea Gill and Linda Sikora Moderated by Mary McGee October 20, 2015, 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Nevins Theater, Alfred University Campus

Our Pioneers celebrates the artistic and teaching accomplishments of Andrea Gill and Linda Sikora, two Alfred University distinguished professors. Over the course of their extraordinary careers, they have significantly impacted the field of ceramic art locally, nationally and internationally. Both are elected members of the International Academy of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland.

Dr. Mary McGee, Professor of Religious Studies, whose scholarship includes research into South Asian traditional practice regarding ritual, gender and ethics, is an equally distinguished Alfred University faculty member. She holds degrees from Harvard and Georgetown Universities.

At the invitation of the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum these three highly accomplished women have agreed to share their professional insights in a conversational forum in conjunction with the Museum’s groundbreaking exhibition of artwork by the pioneer women of American ceramic art 1925-1960.
