Finger Lakes Community College will open an exhibit of ceramic works by local artisan Peter Gerbic on Feb. 7 in the Williams-Insalaco Gallery 34 at the main campus at 3325 Marvin Sands Drive.“Totems and Other Tributes to the Earth: Ceramic Works by Peter Gerbic” opens on Thursday, Feb. 7, at 1 p.m. in the gallery. The artist will have an informal talk with the public at 2 p.m. An opening reception, sponsored by the FLCC Foundation, is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 8, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.Gerbic, of Middlesex, taught ceramics at FLCC for more than 20 years. He was a member of the Rochester Folk Art Guild and studied with Franz Wildenhain, one of the founders of the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology.“This would be an especial opportunity for those unfamiliar with Peter’s work to see what he has accomplished over the many years he has been producing ceramics. He intertwines the natural and instinctual with symbolic references,” says Barron Naegel, assistant professor of art and director of the Williams-Insalaco Gallery 34.  “Totems and Other Tributes to the Earth” will run through March 15. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. For questions, call Barron Naegel at (585) 785-1369.Gerbic’s exhibit is the first event in the 2013 arts and cultural season at FLCC.
