MELVIN EDWARDS
Artist
Anne & Jim Bailey, owners of the world-renowned ceramic supply house, Bailey Ceramic Supplies and Bailey Pottery Equipment Corporation, are talented artisan potters who have achieved wide recognition for their artistic practice, as well as their community-minded business model. With pivotal roles in developing the arts district in Kingston, NY, and a commitment to social justice, affordable housing and advocacy for the intellectually disabled, their dedication to their community is unwavering.
Melvin Edwards is a major American sculptor whose innovative use of materials and language opens up sociopolitical themes within formal sculpture. Melvin is a pioneer in the history of contemporary African American art, and his commitment to public art engagement is demonstrated through large-scale sculptures created for universities, public housing projects, and museums, as well as through his 30-year teaching role at Rutgers University. A resident of the Hudson Valley, his work is currently on display in our exhibition Benjamin Wigfall & Communications Village.
