Syd Carpenter: In Conversation

Join distinguished artist and 2022 Temple University Gallery of Success honoree Syd Carpenter for a conversation about art, life, and practice with Tyler students and alumni. The Gallery of Success is an annual distinction that recognizes outstanding achievement among Temple's esteemed alumni.

Syd Carpenter (BFA '74, MFA ’76) is a Philadelphia-based ceramicist and professor at Swarthmore College. Her work, focusing on African American farms and gardens, has been shown at numerous institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian, Fuller Craft Museum, and Tang Museum of Skidmore College, all of which have acquired her work for their permanent collections. 

Carpenter's recent solo exhibition, Earth Offerings: Honoring the Gardeners, is on view at Rowan University Art Gallery from January 24 - March 26, 2022.

This program is hosted by Tyler School of Art and Architecture and is partially supported through the Temple University General Activity Fund.
