Congratulations to Mo Osborne, the 2025-2026 recip Congratulations to Mo Osborne, the 2025-2026 recipient of the Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman Endowed Scholarship @waynestate College of Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts! Mo will graduate in 2026 with a BFA in ceramics and currently has pieces on display at the Art Department Gallery Thesis exhibition that explore gender expression. Through an undergraduate research grant, Mo has also been exploring the history and expression of burlesque costuming and performance. Since July, Mo has been working with the education department at Pewabic Pottery and is hoping to teach higher education. We couldn’t think of a better way to honor the Ackermans’ legacy than supporting this deserving young artist. #waynestateuniversity #waynestatecfpca #scholarship @mozzy_arts #womendesigners #womenartists #ceramics #artatwayne #evelynandjeromeackerman #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman @pewabic #jerryackerman #detroit #michiganartist #craft
