Distinguished Artist Series
2011-2012
Each year the James Renwick Alliance sponsors a Distinguished Artist Series when craft artists prominent in their fields conduct workshops and give lectures. The lectures, co-sponsored by the James Renwick Alliance and the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, take place in the Grand Salon.
Please visit the Get Involved/Workshops page for more detailed information about this year's Distinguished Artists and their presentations. To sign up for the workshops, please return the REGISTRATION FORM to the JRA Office.
This series has been funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
