The vibrant student-created ceramic pieces featured in the 'A Seat at the Table' exhibition will bring a youthful energy and creative dialogue to the Pitch Haus residency.Chelsea TodayThis June, local Chelsea High School (CHS) artists will take center stage as part of 'A Seat at the Table,' a community-wide exhibition hosted within the traveling Pitch Haus residency in Chelsea. Led by artist Eli Zemper, the project includes a special collaboration with Ceramics 1 and 2 students, whose work will be presented alongside pieces created by community members.
Why it matters
The inclusion of student work brings an important educational and community-centered dimension to the exhibition, offering young artists the opportunity to engage in a professional, public-facing art experience and participate in a broader conversation about art, connection, and community.
The details
Throughout April, CHS students will work directly with Zemper, contributing ceramic pieces that will be included in the final exhibition. The exhibition will be housed in Pitch Haus, a mobile shipping container transformed into an art space, located in the Chelsea State Bank parking lot on US-12. Over the course of two weeks, the site will serve as a hub for creativity, featuring both the exhibition and a series of interactive workshops and events for all ages.
- The 'A Seat at the Table' exhibition will be open to the public during all scheduled Pitch Haus events from June 13–27.
- Throughout April, CHS students will work directly with Zemper on the ceramic pieces for the exhibition.
