Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery
Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum

Ongoing
The installation highlights the evolution of the craft field as it transitions into a new phase at the hands of contemporary artists, showcasing the activist values, optimism, and uninhibited approach of today’s young artists, which in some way echoes the communal spirit and ideology of the pioneers of the American Studio Craft Movement in their heyday. The artworks range from the 1930s through today and span numerous media.
