Michelle Millar Fisher: Craft Schools: A Cross-Country Odyssey in Search of Stories of Craft Education

RSVP
RECORDING

5:30PM, Friday, November 10, 2023

Cattle Track Arts Gallery
6105 N Cattletrack Rd
Scottsdale, AZ 85250

Join MFA Boston curator Michelle Millar Fisher as she shares the story of her journey across the United States on Amtrak to visit pivotal schools and sites (including TSoA) that have shaped craft in the United States over the last century. Where is craft taught? In what ways does place matter to craft learning? And how do we access these places?

The resulting project, "Craft Schools" is a multiyear project encompassing public programs with artists across the US, artwork acquisitions to enhance MFA Boston’s contemporary craft collection, and, ultimately, a publication framing modern-day craft as inclusive and alive—inside and outside the walls of museums.
