"Creativity is at the foundation of what I do professionally and personally. It's a necessary outlet for me."
On Nov. 16, Center for Craft will celebrate the Building a Future for Craft campaign and the Grand Reopening of the National Craft Innovation Hub with Craft Futures 2099, an exhibition featuring 10 national and local multimedia artists envisioning craft as it might look 80 years from now. The exhibition will be open in the Center’s new Bresler Family Gallery through February 29, 2020.

The Center for Craft annually grants $135,000 to academic researchers, scholars, and curators writing, revising, and reclaiming the history of craft through the Craft Research Fund Grants.
This conversation allowed for a deeper investigation of the exhibition's themes and history as intended by 2020 Curatorial Fellow Kayleigh Perkov, supplemented by the additional perspectives of guests Elissa Auther (MAD), Bobbye Tigerman (LACMA), and Lisa Nakamura (U-M LSA).
