The Gallery at RAC Presents: The Art of Craft

Erin Vigneau Dimick, James Ibur, Sherri Jaudes, Laura Elizabeth Mullen, Yael Shomroni, Laura Strand
April 11 – May 17, 2014

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, April 18, from 5:30 – 7:30pm.

The Art of Craft, One Definition presents six artists with outstanding work in metals, ceramic, and fibers who celebrate craft beyond its outdated designation as having utilitarian purpose. From sterling silver grasshoppers to clay forms that suggest narratives of the sea, these artworks demonstrate “remarkable technical skill,” curator Nancy Newman Rice observes, and each offers
“something unique to communicate: a story, an observation, a purpose, or an idea.”

The gallery talk, which will take the form of a panel discussion concerning the meaning of craft, will be on Wednesday, May 14, from 5:30 – 7:00pm.
