​Chance Taylor is a ceramicist and educator who grew up in Fargo, North Dakota. He graduated with a BFA (2018) in ceramics from North Dakota State University and received his MFA (2023) from the University of Missouri, Columbia. He is currently doing a one-year residency at Access Arts in Columbia, Mo where he teaches and maintains an active studio practice.

His most recent work is influenced by the natural world movement and is made to celebrate and elevate the every-day.

 

Taylor has displayed his work across the nation and participated in many juried and invitational exhibitions, taught studio courses both at the University level and for private institutions, and is currently working as an Art History Lecturer at Truman State University. He is currently working towards a solo show at Columbia College to cap off his residency at Access Arts.
