Tribute Exhibition and Pottery Sale July 29th through September 19th
The Ojai Valley Museum offers a rare opportunity to view and purchase ceramics from the Otto Heino Estate! On exhibition, now through September 19, are over 30 superlative examples from Otto and Vivika, and collaborative pieces never before available for sale. For their eighth annual “Made in Ojai “ exhibit, the Ojai Studio Artists have devoted part of their exhibition space as a tribute to the renowned Ojai ceramicists, Otto and Vivika Heino. On loan to the exhibit, from the artist’s niece, Helen Heino, and private collectors, are Heino ceramics spanning 1978 through 2009, with accompanying texts and photos. Helen Heino, executor of the Otto Heino Estate, has loaned 22 of the Heino vessels for display and sale. She has graciously provided the Ojai Valley Museum and the Ojai Studio Artists 100% of the proceeds from the ceramics sold. Each non-profit receives one half of the generated funds. Interested collectors should call Ojai Valley Museum Director, Michele Pracy, for appointments to view the Heino installation, Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at (805) 640-1390. |
