Opening Reception July 11th, 4 - 6pm

Bill Evaul holds a BFA from Pratt Institute where he also taught lithography and wrote reviews and art pieces for Print Review Magazine. He attended graduate workshops at the Whitney Museum of American Art and came to the Cape in 1970 as a Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.

He has lectured and taught workshops nationwide, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Philadelphia, PA; The Charles Demuth Foundation, Lancaster, PA; The Pacific Design Center, West Hollywood, CA; The Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, GA; The Zimmerli Museum of Art, New Brunswick, NJ; and others - especially Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill.

Shanna Fliegel grew up in New Jersey, close to NYC and the Appalachian Trail. This early exposure shaped her love for both urban spaces and the natural environment. After graduating with her BFA from James Madison University in Virginia, Shanna went on to work at artist residencies such as the Cub Creek Foundation, Greenwich House Pottery, the Clay Art Center and the Archie Bray Foundation. Fliegel’s international travels have brought her to residencies in Denmark, France, and Costa Rica, furthering her ceramic research. Shanna received her MFA in Studio Art from Southern Illinois University and has since taught at a variety of schools including Montana State University in Billings and the Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C. Shanna lives with her family north of Boston and teaches ceramics at the Governor’s Academy.
