Pueblo -- A reception will be held for
the opening of the 34th annual University of Southern Colorado 2003 Juried

the local and national level.

and a Bachelor of Science in Design from the State University College of New
York at Buffalo. Bloom served as the Head of the Ceramics Program at the Oregon
