Society For Art In Crafts

Contemporary craft's education studio has three large studios that offer classes and workshops taught by national, regional and local artists, along with a free drop in studio where visitors can make art at any time to take home with them. A vibrant nationally based arts program, fully integrated into the exhibitions program, is central to contemporary craft's definition of artistic and cultural quality as well as to its ability to successfully carry out its mission and build future audiences. In addition to regular education programs, contemporary craft engages community partners and hosts various public programs that are available to individual members or community organizations who may not have access to quality arts programming.

Contemporary craft's distinctive retail space, the store, represents the work of top regional, national and international artists. Proceeds from the store help support free exhibition, education and outreach programs, as well as the participating artists. The store is also designed to be an extension of the gallery, often showing larger, more commercial bodies of work by artists featured in the current exhibition, and always focused on educating visitors about artists and their creative processes.
