Justin George: Boy-Ish Gallery Reception & Artist Talk
Friday, August 7, 2026
Reception & Artist Talk: 6:00–8:00 PM
Location: Cohen Gallery East, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts
Join GoggleWorks Center for the Arts for the closing reception of Boy-Ish, a solo exhibition by ceramic artist and educator Justin George. Meet the artist, explore the exhibition, and hear firsthand about the ideas, experiences, and creative process behind this deeply personal body of work.
Through functional ceramics, sculpture, and photography, Boy-Ish explores the space between boyhood and adulthood, reflecting on memory, identity, and the quiet transitions that shape who we become. Rooted in the belief that everyday objects can carry emotional significance, George’s work invites viewers to consider how ordinary objects preserve moments, relationships, and personal histories.
During the artist talk, Justin will discuss his multidisciplinary practice, his approach to ceramics and photography, and how personal reflection informs his exploration of growth, change, and the emotional weight of functional objects.
Whether you’re a longtime ceramics enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious to experience new contemporary work, this is an opportunity to connect with both the artist and the stories embedded within the exhibition.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
About the Exhibition
On view through August 7 in Cohen Gallery East, Boy-Ish presents a thoughtful collection of functional ceramics, sculpture, and photography that lingers in the unresolved space between childhood and adulthood. Rather than defining what it means to grow up, the exhibition reflects on the quiet moments of becoming, where memories echo, identities evolve, and everyday objects become lasting witnesses to change.
We invite you to experience the exhibition and celebrate its conclusion with the artist during this special evening at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts.
