JRA Distinguished Artist Series
Each Year, the James Renwick Alliance sponsors a Craft Workshop Series. Craft artists who are prominent in their fields will conduct workshops and give lectures. The lectures at the Renwick Gallery are co-sponsored by the James Renwick Alliance and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Smithsonian Institution.
The purpose of the craft workshops is to give people the opportunity to interact with highly creative artists and to explore with them aspects of their crafts which are of particular personal interest. Workshop activities will include discussion and demonstration of practical techniques and personal methodology and, if feasible, the opportunity for hands-on participation.
Information and registration for workshops is available from the JRA office at 301-907-3888 or via email at admin@jra.org.
