Call the Ney for current information. In addition, there is an annual student exhibit that usually happens in August or September. The Elisabet Ney Sculpture Conservatory is a program of the Elisabet Ney Museum Association, a non-profit organization. Contact Director Shirley Kivell for more information on classes or donations to the school. The conservatory is kind enough to allow TSOS to hold its board meetings on the conservatory's premises.
Attendance is open to all interested.
Teacher Pern Smalley retires from teaching sculpture at the Ney since about 1977. The images above were taken at Pern's Retirement Party, held in conjunction with the Elizabet Ney Student and Faculty Exhibit opening night on 24 September 1995. Craig from Armadillo Clay Supply in Austin, Pern, and Ney director Shirley Kivell. Closeup of Pern is the photo on the right. Both images taken by Kelly Borsheim.
