. Previous Eric Yake Kenagy
Visiting Artists at Goshen College
T his program, begun in 1987 to honor the memory of Eric Yake Kenagy (1966-1986), a gifted young ceramics student, has provided an opportunity for the students, faculty and Goshen community to work with, listen to and observe individuals who have made a place for themselves in the art world. In this visiting artist program, Eric's family and friends wish to celebrate the creativity Eric expressed in his too-short life, and to share with Goshen College and its friends events that will inspire others to develop their own creativity. Additional gifts to this memorial are welcome.
