CRAFTING A NATION Conference
CRAFTING A NATION will be held October 8 and 9, 2010 from 9 AM to 5 PM in the Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, located at 8th and F Streets N.W., in Washington, D.C.
This two-day interactive symposium will be held as an anchoring event for the first annual American Craft Week, a nationwide 10-day celebration of our country’s craft traditions and innovations. It will be a landmark occasion for various members of the craft community to come together, engage and interact regarding where handcrafted work is heading in the twenty-first century.
CRAFTING A NATION starts with the individual maker and progresses to the national craft community. It will explore how craft practitioners, both professional and self-taught, are a valuable national resource and an integral part of the American economy, running businesses and producing products unique to our nation and important to our economic growth. Handcrafted works are core to a healthy society and contribute to a sustainable environment.
The sessions at “CRAFTING A NATION” will be structured as dialogues led by moderators and panelists, but driven by the participation of the audience as open forums. The thematic link for each of these conversations will be the idea of craft education and the economics of producing handmade goods in this day and age. The global origins of craft, the business of creating and retailing the handmade, the DIY movement, and the environmental sustainability of craft are among the topics that will be addressed.
“CRAFTING A NATION” will be a unique opportunity to convene and consider the range and vitality of craft, the satisfaction it engenders in those who produce and collect and use hand-made works, and the expanding role that craft will play in our shifting economy.
Crafting a Nation is organized by Craft in America and the Craft Retailers and Artists for Tomorrow in collaboration with the Smithsonian American Art Museum and its Renwick Gallery.
