125 years of ceramic art opens at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum May 8, 2025

The Alfred Ceramic Art Museum will celebrate the 125th anniversary of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University with a comprehensive exhibition titled History: A Legacy in Motion, Alfred Ceramic Art 1900 -2025. The exhibition which will be on view May 8 – December 14, 2025, will open for a first viewing reception on May 8 from 5 -7 pm. The public is invited to join in celebration of this historic occasion. 

---

The New York State College of Ceramic Art at Alfred University was originally formed in 1900 as the New York State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics. Since its founding the college that grew out of the art of pottery has become a world leader in the field of ceramic art and science. This legacy of excellence is still in motion. The museum’s exhibition features the principal artist-teachers at the New York State College of Ceramics who, regardless of their specific time in history, are unquestionably inspiring the present.

 Among the treasured pieces of ceramic art featured will be the museum’s archival collection of pottery created by of Charles Fergus Binns. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, Binns was invited by president Boothe C. Davis to become the first director of a new initiative at Alfred University, and the NYSCC was formally established. It is no exaggeration to say that Binns, along with his initial core of instructors, launched American studio ceramics, and at the same time transformed Alfred into a hub of creative ceramic art and scientific research that has persisted with resounding impact globally to this day. In 1935, approximately one year after his death, the Metropolitan Museum of Art mounted a memorial, retrospective exhibition of Binns pottery.

 The next generations of instructors solidified the Alfred reputation through their unique contributions, such that no book on the history of American ceramic art can be written without mention of the Alfred legacy. The names of many of the exhibition’s featured artists will be recognized including Marion Fosdick (Fosdick -Nelson Gallery), Charles Harder (Harder Hal), Robert Turner (Turner Gallery) Val Cushing (the Cushing scholarship) and Theodore Randall (the Randall International Chair).

The museum’s exhibition highlights, in addition to the art of those just mentioned, masterpieces of ceramic art work by current and recently retired faculty of the Ceramic Art Division of NYSCC at Alfred University. 

History: A Legacy in Motion is curated by Benjamin Evans the Assistant Director of ACAM in collaboration with Director Wayne Higby.

 The Alfred Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred University is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5pm. For more information email ceramicsmuseum@alfred.edu or phone 607-871-2421.

Golf becomes 100th club at Alfred State

A foursome of Alfred State students, Mike Bupp, Brogan Cotter, Ryan Masi, and Hunter Trischler, have founded the 100th club or organization on campus, the Golf Club. ASC President Dr. Steve Mauro will serve as the advisor.

“Golf has been a hobby of mine for the last couple of years,” commented Cotter. After talking to Mike, Hunter, and Ryan, we thought it would be a great idea to propose the creation of a Golf Club on campus. Our college is experiencing an exciting period of growth, and we believe the timing was right to create an interactive opportunity for faculty and staff.”

The foursome met with Brooke Scianna, Coordinator of Campus Recreation, and Steven Edwards, Coordinator of Student Activities, to discuss how to create the club. The group was able to go through all the necessary steps of creating the new organization on campus and finalized it by having Dr. Mauro agree to be the advisor. 

Dr. Mauro is excited to work with these students. “I enjoy getting on the course and look forward to playing the beautiful local courses with the students. I hope to see more students join us.” 

Clubs at Alfred State range from performing arts, civic engagement, club sports and recreation, and Greek life. Club involvement and leadership roles are noticed by employers, as they seek well-rounded students who jump in and get involved.

The Office of Student Engagement regularly encourages students to start new clubs and organizations. Clubs and organizations are a connection point for students and faculty and staff outside of the classroom and offer a sense of belonging. 

Cotter continued, “Our mission is to provide an opportunity for all students to play golf both recreationally and competitively. Golf is the ultimate networking sport.”

Visit PioneerLink to find information about the clubs and organizations offered at Alfred State and upcoming events on campus. Contact Cotter at cotterbd@alfredstate.edu for more information about the Golf Club.

Bradford County Man Sentenced To 292 Months In Prison For Production Of Child Pornography

Brann on one count of production of child pornography.

According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, Wheeler coerced two minor victims to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing child pornography on four separate occasions in June and July of 2022, in Bradford County.

Assistant United States Attorney Alisan V. Martin read a statement from one of the victim’s mothers expressing the devastating impact this crime has had on the victim and the victim’s family.

The case was investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Assistant United States Attorney Alisan V. Martin prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
