National Craft Innovation Hub

Online newsletter Hyperallergic wrote up Center for Craft’s newest endeavor: the launch of a National Craft Innovation Hub in Asheville, North Carolina. You may have read about this late last year - we admittedly left it in our end-of-year holiday reading until now. ;-)

“Serving as a creative destination and resource for artists, researchers, curators, and the community, this innovative hub includes expanded galleries, event and meeting spaces, and coworking space serving the creative sector.

Beyond gallery exhibitions, a Craft Research Fund Study Collection will make available the collection of research that the Center has funded for over a decade and will be complemented by an area for hands-on activities to introduce visitors to craft. And the historic building will be a destination in itself, featuring hand-crafted furniture and signage created by renowned artists.”
