2020
As a multidisciplinary artist and black woman, there is a dire need for our young girls to not only have inspiring literature that is written specifically for them but also they need resources and mentors to equip them in creating their own creative ecosystems to support them financially in this changing world. In my first book, I conducted research studies showing me how important it is for young black women to see their creative gifts as worth pursuing and worthy of payment. This community organization will serve as a catalyst to help inspire the next generation.

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.
