Eric Yake Kenagy Visiting Artist Lecture: Isaac Scott

Isaac Scott, a Philadelphia-based ceramic artist, photographer and educator, will speak at Goshen College’s annual Eric Yake Kenagy Visiting Artist event on Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. in Rieth Recital Hall.

Originally from Madison, Wisc., Scott works mainly with ceramics and photography, mediums which best allow him to interpret and elaborate upon current political and cultural events. Scott’s photographs of the 2020 Uprising in Philadelphia were featured in the June 22, 2020 issue of The New Yorker. He is represented by Lucy Lacoste Gallery in Concord, MA, where Mouros, his solo exhibition, took place in 2023. Scott’s ceramic work has been exhibited around the country. Recent shows include the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY (2024), the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts’ (NCECA) convention in Richmond, VA (2024), Fleisher/Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, PA (2023), and Watershed Center for Ceramic Art’s Barken Gallery in Edgecomb, ME (2022). In 2024, NCECA awarded Scott their prestigious Emerging Artist Fellowship.

Scott received a BA in Philosophy from The University of Wisconsin (Madison) in 2014 and an MFA in Ceramic Art from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in 2021.

The annual event, which brings a new artist to the Goshen College campus every year, is made possible by the Eric Yake Kenagy endowment.
