Center for Craft Receives Planning Grant from Cherokee Preservation Foundation for Cherokee Basketry Public Art Parklet.
Mar 26 – May 14
FABRICated presents an intergenerational look at new boundaries in art and craft through works that merge fiber-based processes with other media, like painting, sculpture, and blacksmithing.
The Center is your resource for the latest conversations in the field of craft.
In order to increase the value and relevance of craft to society, the Center works to advance the understanding of craft in higher education, museums and cultural institutions, and across disciplines. Field building strategies include convening thought leaders, creating, documenting and disseminating research, and launching innovative leadership initiatives. We provide grants and fellowships to emerging and established craft artists, curators, and scholars in order to build a future for the field of craft.
Recognizing that Asheville and the surrounding area has been a bastion for craft in the United States dating back to the Cherokee, the Center is actively working to preserve and advance the craft legacy of Western North Carolina through the development of our property in downtown Asheville, North Carolina and through a series of exhibitions and community-focused initiatives.

Desire Paths looks at makers both within the discourse of craft and those existing on the periphery of the craftscape who focus on the movement of the body in relationship to nature, tech, self and society.
