2017
The weaver’s grid has long served as a frame for irregularity, material experiment, and handcraft. Sheila Hicks’ Minimes, hand-sized compositions woven daily from disparate materials have inspired Tie Up, Draw Down, an exhibition about translating the weave across media, genres, and and conceptual frameworks, and between micro and macro scale.

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.
