Join artists, curators, thinkers, and makers for an evening of inspirational projects and moving personal stories. Presenters will explore themes of circulating value, community building, agency and accessibility, de/construction of systems, technology and innovation, expansiveness of craft, and inclusive craft histories.These seven areas were identified through the Center for Craft's 2021 Craft Think Tank, which engaged individuals from a wide range of fields – science, humanities, health, design, and the arts – to collaborate with craft artists, leaders and innovators.
