Art Calls Future Craft
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: August 5, 2024 – Gallery 263 invites artists based in the United States to submit to “Future Craft,” an exhibition highlighting the ingenuity and relevance of craft and design in contemporary art.
Marked by a history of resilience and rooted in traditions of storytelling and embodied knowledge, craft is materially connected to lineages of the past. Contemporary craft objects sustain this link while pushing the boundaries of function, adornment, tradition, and community engagement. Today’s craft-based artists draw from intersectional identities and social practices to reconsider and reinterpret the ‘handmade’ as a futuristic ideal.
Exhibition dates: October 10–November 9, 2024.
