Don Reitz
May 4th - September 8th, 2012 Featuring: Don Reitz Opening Reception - First Friday, May 4th, 2012, 6-9pm
The warmer months of 2012 will feature a tribute to Don Reitz, a legendary ceramic artist whose career spans more than 50 years. Red Star Studios and Belger Arts Center are collaborating to open “Don Reitz” on May 4, 2012, with approximately 100 artworks including vessels, sculptures, and prints from the Arizona artist. The 82-year-old Reitz lives on 20 acres of desert land near Sedona, AZ, where he and two assistants regularly fire four wood kilns. While hosting visitors from the Belger Arts Center this fall, Reitz referred to his compound as his “sandbox.” His youthful enthusiasm for making art, and the energy he brings to his craft, are legendary. Reitz has mentored many artists along the way, including noted sculptor Donald Lipski.
