About the Project:
Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art
Coordinating Institution
Clay Today: Public Tile Project
In association with the City
of Peekskill, the Peekskill Central School District, several educational
institutions and schools along the Hudson River & the Peekskill
Arts Council.
Since their origin over 8,000 years ago in Ancient
Egypt, tiles have served not only a practical function in private and
public spaces throughout the world, but they have also been one of the
most enduring markers of cultural history. Tiles are both democratic and accessible. They are the essence
of what public art has the potential to be—an art form that can be
found anywhere in the world by anyone, no matter one's class, race, age
or gender; with a purpose and beauty transcending all differences between
all people.
