I have sad news to share with the ACGA community. Chris Esparza passed away unexpectedly during the first weekend of August. Many ACGA artists will remember Chris as the head of Giant Creative. He and his team worked with us to produce the ACGA Clay & Glass Festival in Palo Alto for nine years, from 2013 through 2021. I learned a lot from working with him and appreciate the ways he and Giant Creative helped us to improve the event over time.
