***Due to the shutdowns and various restrictions on gathering, the exhibitions listed below are tentative and may be changed without notice.  While most of the venues are open; others have closed again for the new outbreak.  The timetables for exhibitions are still in a state of flux. If planning to visit, please call ahead to verify the events are still open or require reservations.  A small benefit is that many venues have put their shows online and added other objects to their websites which are rarely seen online or in person.  As they say, it is best to call ahead.

50TH RENWICK ANNIVERSARY FUND

7/12/2022

Comments

 
THE jracraft 50TH ANNIVERSARY ACQUISITIONS FUND supportS the renwick gallery of the smithsonian museum of american art

​​In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the James Renwick Alliance for Craft renewed its commitment to expanding the museum’s collection with the Renwick Gallery 50th Anniversary Acquisitions Fund. The fund was part of JRACraft’s long history of supporting acquisitions, including iconic pieces like Karen LaMonte’s Reclining Dress Impression with Drapery, Judy McKie’s Monkey Settee, and Game Fish by Larry Fuentes. 
 
Thanks to the generosity of the donors listed on this page and others, the Fund raised more than $157,000 in contributions and direct donations to the museum to purchase works identified by the Renwick Gallery curators as part of the campaign.  This was the second-largest fundraising campaign in JRACraft’s history, exceeded only by the campaign to support the renovation of the Renwick Gallery.
 
In the end, the fund supported the acquisition of seven new works, including four by BIPOC artists and three by women.  Pieces by David Harper Clemons, Susie Ganch, Mariko Kusumoto, Roberto Lugo, and Paul Scott are the first pieces by these artists to enter the museum’s permanent collection, and the seventh piece, by Rachel David is her first work to join any major collection.  The campaign also facilitated direct donations to the museum for the acquisitions of four other works. We are delighted to be able to support this original and exciting art. The pieces JRACraft supported are:
 
David Harper Clemons, The Weight of Deferred Gratification. Clemons was a 2021 JRACraft Master of the Medium.
 
Susie Ganch, Drag. This piece was donated in honor of Robyn Kennedy, former head administrator of the Renwick Gallery.
 
Mariko Kusomoto, Seascape 1.
 
Roberto Lugo, Juicy.
 
Preston Singletary, Safe Journey. Singletary was a 2021 JRACraft Master of the Medium.
 
Paul Scott, Cumbrian Blue(s), from the New America series.
 
Rachel David, new commissioned work. David was the winner of the JRACraft 2021 Chrysalis Award for emerging artists.
 
The works by Roberto Lugo, Preston Singletary, Susie Ganch, and David Harper Clemons are on view now at the Renwick Gallery as part of its 50th anniversary exhibition, This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World, running through April 2, 2023, along with many other works donated by JRACraft and its members.

We thank the donors listed below for being a part of this historic and unprecedented moment in craft history.

Learn about craft exhibitions happening around the world through the monthly James Renwick Alliance Newsletter or join our mailing list to get regular updates about upcoming events.

***Due to the shutdowns and various restrictions on gathering, the exhibitions listed below are tentative and may be changed without notice.  While most of the venues are open; others have closed again for the new outbreak.  The timetables for exhibitions are still in a state of flux. If planning to visit, please call ahead to verify the events are still open or require reservations.  A small benefit is that many venues have put their shows online and added other objects to their websites which are rarely seen online or in person.  As they say, it is best to call ahead.

RACHEL DAVID FEATURED IN ACC MAGAZINE

5/26/2022

Comments

 
JRACRAFT 2021 ​CHRYSALIS AWARDEE and Blacksmith RACHEL DAVID IS CURRENTLY FEATURED ON THE COVER OF AMERICAN CRAFT MAGAZINE'S SUMMER 2022 ISSUE: Forge
The Summer issue of American Craft magazine is out now and on the cover is Rachel David, our very own 2021 Chrysalis Awardee! Rachel's work as an accomplished blacksmith artist is highlighted in this issue along with other craft artists who are "making their own way, transforming what they think needs to be transformed, and reimagining craft" says American Craft editor in chief, Karen Olson. Read the full article here. 

We just had the pleasure of honoring Rachel in Washington, DC during our Spring Craft Weekend at the beginning of May and learning more about her recent commission for the Renwick Gallery.

Click here to see Rachel David presenting her work in conversation with JRACraft executive director, Jaimianne Jacobin.

JRACRAFT AWARD PRESENTED AT AMERICAN CRAFT MADE

5/23/2022

Comments

 
JRACRAFT PRESENTS AN AWARD AND HONORABLE MENTION FOR INNOVATION AT THE AMERICAN CRAFT COUNCIL AMERICAN CRAFT MADE IN BALTIMORE, MD. 
Every year JRACraft awards an artist for their innovative use of materials presenting at the ACC's American Craft Made fair at the Baltimore Convention Center. This year, two artists were presented with awards and prize money for their innovative work in craft. 

jonah jacobs, award winner

Jonah calls himself a "material alchemist," which is a perfect description. In his hands paper towel rolls, cotton swabs, styrofoam, bits of textiles, and other substances not ordinarily found in wall art, such as oatmeal and quinoa, are deftly transformed into lavish organic shapes that evoke galaxies, tree roots, oceanscapes or other worlds unknown.
The jurors admired Jonah's fearless and innovative use of non-traditional materials to create beautiful work in a sustainable way. ​https://www.jonahjacobs.com

yarina dai, honorable mention

Yarina Dai is a student artist from the Rochester Institute of Technology who is known for her ethereal and spiritual wearable sculpture. "The pieces the jurors admired most could not be more grounded, literally. Dirt and living plants burst out of small sculptural containers that are worn on the body," said award chair, Rebecca Ravenal. Sharing an intimate space with these fragile seedlings emphasizes the wearer's complicated relationship to the natural world and is an innovative way to remind us of our responsibility to the earth.

Additional prize money for our honorable mention was provided by JRACraft member Pati Young​

SPRING CRAFT WEEKEND THANK YOU!

5/19/2022

Comments

 
THANK YOU ARTISTS, PATRONS, ATTENDEES, VOLUNTEERS AND EVERYONE WHO MADE SPRING CRAFT WEEKEND POSSIBLE!
2022 marks the Alliance's 40th anniversary, and Spring Craft Weekend reminded us that we have a lot to be proud of. "Every day I am humbled by the amazing generosity of people who make up this organization and the overwhelming dedication we all have to American Craft," says Executive Director Jaimianne Jacobin.

This was exemplified in our One-Of-A-Kind awardee and co-chair Barbara Berlin, who recited the poem above as she received her award. Barbara was introduced by Patron Chair, Sharon Buchanan. Her work and the dedication of our Patrons alone, contributed almost $100,000!

To further our mission of support for the public appreciation, education and connoisseurship of American Craft, the Alliance hosted our annual public symposium honoring the 2022 Distinguished Educators Anne Wilson, Ché Rhodes and Janet Koplos. As a part of our mission to recognize excellence, we were further graced by the presence of our 2021 Masters of the Medium Wendy Maruyama, Consuelo Underwood and David Harper Clemons and we heard from our 2021 Chrysalis Awardee Rachel David. 

Through programs, educational trips and publications, JRACraft stands as a beacon for American Craft and with your help, the Chihuly Fund raised $12,000 to support publications dedicated to featuring mid career craft artists. 

A sincere thank you to all who attended, participated and supported the James Renwick Alliance Spring Craft Weekend. Your support, contributions, and ideas help shape the James Renwick Alliance for Craft and together, we make a difference in the legacy of the American Craft field. ​
