WINTER/SPRING 2024: RECRAFT

January 12 - May 26, 2024

OPENING EVENT: February 2, 2024 | 5 - 9 PM

Historically, collectors, artists, and art historians have made critical distinctions between art and craft. Today, despite decades of scholarship and hundreds of exhibitions on the subject, the boundaries between art and craft continue to be blurred. Intending to put a twist on this centuries-old debate, our exhibition series RECRAFT looks at ways in which recycled, repurposed or craft-associated materials might intersect with traditional materials such as paint, ink and stone. And, how traditional subject matter such as genre painting, portraiture, landscapes and sculpture can be composed to reveal a new visual language. 

Ten artists from across our region, representing unique art-making practices from puppetry to macrame, knot tying to quilt-making, complement and contribute to evolving our collective definitions of art.
