Interplay: Art Craft and Design

Juried by Holly Jerger, Curator for Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles

 The boundaries between Craft, Art and Design have become blurred. Holly Jerger encourages reconsideration of how we subdivide and classify genres and techniques in the art world.  She challenges preconceived notions about contemporary craft, art and design, looking for timely and contemporary art without losing the meaning of craft,  materiality, and the handmade.  Award of Solo exhibition for selected artist.
