Featured works include loans from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, made available through the Art Bridges Foundation. The Friends of the Beach Museum of Art encourage you to join them in sponsoring this exhibition.

Platinum Major Sponsors: Art Bridges, The Alms Group, Friends of the Beach Museum of Art and Greater Manhattan Community Foundation’s Lincoln & Dorothy I. Deihl Community Grants Program

Waylande Gregory (1905-1971), a native of Baxter Springs, Kansas, was one of the most innovative and prolific Art Deco ceramic sculptors of the early 20th century. His groundbreaking techniques enabled him to create monumental ceramic sculptures that had not previously been possible, including his Fountain of the Atom for the 1939 New York World’s Fair—a tribute to atomic energy that earned the attention of Albert Einstein. Gregory also developed revolutionary glazing and processing methods and was an important figure in the studio glass movement.
