A part of the 2020 Bray Benefit Auction's Experiences, this Gallery Visit with Sam Harvey at the Harvey Preston Gallery is reserved for participants who bid during the auction event. Bidding participants had the opportunity to join Sam for a behind the scenes look at his contemporary ceramics art gallery, talk with him about his extensive experience as artist and gallery owner, and now have access to the event recording.

Harvey Preston Gallery specializes in contemporary ceramic art, works on paper and sculpture. Working with nationally and internationally recognized talent, the gallery’s main focus is to forefront the work of artists willing to push the boundaries of their ideas and materials.
“One of the things we do best at the gallery is bring innovative contemporary ceramic art to the Aspen art scene. During the past 10 years ceramics has also become a hot topic in the larger contemporary art world. Our goal is to have works that make you think and that ask the viewer to participate in a dialogue with the artist.” — Sam Harvey
