OF ART AND CRAFT

Exploring the question “What defines Craft versus Art – and does that division have meaning?”, this exhibition will feature nine artists working in “traditional” craft media – fiber, clay and glass – who artfully unite concept and technique. Participating artists are Jocelyn Braxton Armstrong, Emily Barletta, Susan Eisen, Norma Minkowitz, Kathleen Mulcahy, Ellen Schiffman, Josh Simpson, Phyllis Kudder Sullivan, and Adam Waimon.
I encourage all to visit the Flinn Gallery’s website to examples of work from each artist.
