Innovations in Contemporary Crafts
A Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Crafts in the San Francisco Bay Area

Innovations in Contemporary Crafts is a juried exhibition of San Francisco Bay Area artists. The show explores innovations in the traditional craft mediums of ceramics, wood, glass, metal, fiber, enamel, paper and jewelry. With the new decade, we survey artists who are forward thinking in their approach to materials and application. This exhibition is open to San Francisco Bay Area artists who work in all craft mediums. The show will be featured in the Richmond Art Center’s spacious 6,000 square foot Main Gallery, showcasing each artist’s unique approach to their respective craft.

The Richmond Art Center was founded in 1936 and was originally named the Richmond Art Craft Center. It wasn’t until the early fifties when it moved into it’s current home, that it was re-named Richmond Art Center in order to encompass all of the artistic media that it served. This exhibition brings back the beloved Richmond Art Center’s juried Annual Designer Craftsman Exhibition which started in 1951 and ran for at least 25 years.

Jurors: Garry Knox Bennett & Nancy Selvin
Garry Knox Bennett is an internationally known furniture maker, woodworker, metalworker and artist known for his whimsical, inventive and unconventional uses of materials and designs. Born in Alameda, California, his long-established workshop and studio in Oakland.

She has taught for more than 30 years at colleges and workshops internationally, including a stint at her alma mater, UC Berkeley.
