ACC is invited to gather for light snacks and cool drinks at the home/studio of Mara Superior. Mara’s home is filled with collections, spanning the history of her own work, antique ceramics, and library. In addition, tour the sculpture studio of her late husband, Roy Superior. Mara is an American visual artist who works in porcelain. Her ceramic high relief platters and sculptural objects reflect the artist’s passion for art history and the decorative arts, and her painterly motifs range from the pleasures of the domestic to serious political and environmental issues as points of departure to comment on contemporary culture and its relationship to history.Directions: Park at the Meekins Library 2 Williams St, Williamsburg and walk a short distance to the house – 8 Williams Street (Rte 9), Williamsburg, MA contact phone is 413.268.7904
