The Puget Sound region is rich with educational and studio-based resources for artists. This group exhibition will be curated with nominees selected by more than twenty Craft-based programs and professional groups. These include Pilchuck Glass School (Stanwood), Pratt Fine Arts Center (Seattle), Northwest African American Museum (Seattle), Wing Luke Asian Museum (Seattle), Seattle Metals Guild (state wide), House of Welcome (Indigenous Longhouse arts center, The Evergreen State College, Olympia), Schack Art Center (Everett), Bainbridge Island Artisans Network (BARN, Bainbridge Island), Northwind Art (Port Townsend), Northwest Designer Craftartists (multi state), and Hilltop Glass Program (Tacoma, WA). This exhibition will highlight excellence from emerging craft artists, while exploring traditional definitions and boundaries within and imposed upon the field.
