Eutectic Gallery Information

Similar to the relationship between the components that make up clay and their proportions, Eutectic Gallery wishes to explore the relationship between an artist’s process, product, & concept, and the public’s interpretation of, interaction with, and critique of said work. Eutectic is about building relationships: with contemporary ceramic artists, with the greater PDX art community, with local schools and colleges, and with those seeking a greater exposure and introduction to fine ceramic art. Eutectic Gallery strives to present the most exquisite contemporary ceramic art to the Portland Fine Arts community. Eutectic will not only provide a venue for upcoming and established ceramicists to display their work, but will serve as a center that can provide greater immersion into modern American ceramics through education via interaction with both the artist and his/her work and the larger PDX arts community. Eutectic Gallery believes that, through these efforts of outreach and relationship building, we will provide a platform for a stronger and more dynamic conversation and understanding of modern ceramic arts. Eutectic Gallery is co-operatively owned and operated by Brett Binford, John-Fletcher Halyburton and Aaron Van de Graeff in partnership with Gallery Director Jeffrey Thomas.
