ABOUT US
Connecting Artists, Collectors & Art Professionals by Developing Exhibitions, Creative Projects, & Collaboration Opportunities
Ferrin Contemporary serves as a ceramic artist agency providing consulting, exhibition production, collection services, sales, and marketing support for our represented and affiliated artists.Â
Curated exhibitions are presented by the gallery and in partnership with galleries, museums, and educational institutions throughout the country. Rotating installations of artworks by Ferrin Contemporary artists are on display and viewable by-appointment at Ferrin Contemporary’s galleries at Project Art in Cummington, MA (learn more about our space HERE).Â
In addition to creating opportunities for artists whose primary medium is clay, the gallery also works with private collectors, estates and archives to offer secondary market works for sale and gift to public collections.
OUR SERVICES
Ferrin Contemporary works with private collectors and artist archives throughout the country organizing, documenting, and appraising works in preparation for a deacquisition or placement. We use our extensive experience and relationships within the field of ceramics to position this work back in the marketplace.
We provide customized services for artists interested in legacy projects, such as but not limited to, retrospective catalogs and exhibitions, museum or institutional acquisitions, auction house sales, and long-term archival care for a collection.
Ferrin Contemporary is committed to developing relationships with museums and cultural institutions that collect, exhibit, and engage the public about ceramics. For over 40 years, Leslie Ferrin has been a leading specialist in contemporary ceramic art, mounting exhibitions, cataloging collections, presenting scholarship, and supporting creative projects. She has placed work in the permanent collections of museums nationwide, facilitated loans for temporary exhibitions, and coordinated the tours of traveling exhibitions.
Ferrin Contemporary will collaborate with your museum in various capacities, from exhibition and programming development to providing advisory service on the acquisition and deaccession of collection objects. Contact our specialists, to discuss your project.
Based on our curatorial and exhibition productions, Ferrin Contemporary continues to bolster museum and artist relationships with touring programs. Our expanding team collaborates with artists, institutions, galleries, and museums to build collections, provide exhibition opportunities, and provide curated show packages across the United States with our international roster of artists.
