Alfred Ceramic Art Museum presents 2026 upcoming exhibition.
"Eugene Ofori-Agyei: Fihankra (You Did Not Say Goodbye When You Left Home)."
February 12th to July 19th, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 12, 5-7pm
Eugene Agyei arrived at Alfred University in 2023, chosen by the Division of Ceramic Art faculty as the Turner Teaching Fellow in the School of Art & Design at the New York State College of Ceramics. Over the course of the following years, he formed a bond with the students, faculty and entire community, all the while developing his own complex body of work. In this exhibition, Agyei borrows from the tradition of Adinkra symbolism, native to his homeland of Ghana, in which a single symbol can express a range of complex ideas. These symbols form the starting point, but then mutate and transform into rich "assemblage" works incorporating fabric, wool, and wood in which formal and material considerations are given priority over direct symbolism.

Alfred Ceramic Art Museum presents upcoming Spring 2026 Exhibition:
"Sharif Bey: Autoethnography"
February 12th to July 19th, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 12, 5-7pm
Sharif Bey is an ambidextrous user of clay, as comfortable making pots as he is making poetic figures, daunting wall pieces or the gargantuan necklaces of his "Adornment" series. His work can be read at many levels - as an exploration of the multifaceted "ethnos" of his life; as an investigation of how meanings can shift according to context; as a ceramic practice that refuses to remain fixed in any one category, celebrating instead the endless possibilities of the medium. This show presents the diversity of Bey's practice, which nevertheless retains a united, and utterly unique, style and vision.

Looking for a fresh way to energize your semester? Need a PFIT or Wellness credit? Want to understand your body better, build confidence, or simply find a joyful way to de-stress?
Take a dance class!
Dance classes at Alfred University are open to everyone-no experience required, and no need to consider yourself a "dancer." If you can move, you can dance. If you can breathe, you can belong here. Whether you're a chemistry major, an art student, an engineer, or somewhere in between, our dance classes welcome all majors and minors. You don't need to be a dance major or minor to join in-just bring yourself and an open mind!
Dance offers the chance to:
? Learn your body-how it moves, balances, strengthens, and adapts
? Release stress-shake out the tension of the week and reconnect with joy
? Build community-meet students from across campus who love to move
? Express yourself-no pressure, no expectations, just freedom of movement
Our dance classes blend creativity, technique, and exploration, helping you grow not only as a mover, but as a human. Whether you're curious about trying something new, wanting a mindful movement practice, or craving a fun physical outlet, there's a dance class that will meet you exactly where you are.
You don't need fancy gear or years of training. Just show up-and let the magic of movement happen. Dance invites you to discover new parts of yourself, connect with your body, and enjoy the simple, powerful act of moving through space.
Make space to move this spring - your body will thank you. Come dance with us!
