Contemporary Craft Exhibit | Brookline Arts Center
June 16, 2017 - July 21, 2017
An exhibition of contemporary craft.
Since the 1800s, New England has long been at the center of American craft from silversmithing to woodwork to textiles. In recent years, the craft movement has defied boundaries and gained recognition as an art form in its own right. What defines studio craft today? How does it navigate between function and fine art?
This exhibit will be juried by Lindsay Miś who joined the Society as the CraftBoston Director in 2015. Miś lives in New Bedford, MA and maintains her metalsmithing practice in an old fiber mill in the South Coast. Miś received her MFA in Jewelry Metals from UMass Dartmouth and her BFA in Craft/Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has worked at art institutions such as Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Metalwerx, and The Visual Art Center of Richmond, VA.
