About This Exhibit

The exhibition Raised in Craftivity spotlights the work of contemporary artists working in craft media to celebrate, challenge, and subvert our expectations of these media and the cultures with which they are associated. Traditionally disdained as "feminine," "decorative," "domestic," and "amateur," today embroidery, ceramics, beadwork, knitting, and woodworking are embraced by emerging gallery artists who explore the rich social and historical associations of these craft media and techniques.
