Craft thrives on collaboration. This panel explores the roles of different institutions in advocating for the craft field, supporting artists, and  expanding audiences. This conversation brings together panelists with varied professional associations to foreground the range of individuals  and institutions forming the craft community. The panel addresses craft in the region and institutions in Arkansas, including discussion of a major exhibition on craft opening at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in October 2020.

Join us for coffee and breakfast pastries before the panel discussion.

Organized in conjunction with Jen Padgett, Assistant Curator, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and Glenn Adamson.
