JURIED, OPEN CALL EXHIBITION

Precious is a celebration of the five major craft mediums—clay, glass, fiber, wood and metal. Regional artists are invited to display the best in contemporary fine craft. For centuries craft was evaluated by its function alone, often the only evidence of forgotten civilizations but today there is an interest in objects as works unto themselves. Multiple art disciplines have overlapped as artists experiment with materials leading to innovative and exciting works of contemporary art that blur the line between craft and fine art.
