SAVE THE DATE! 
SPRING CRAFT WEEKEND
​MAY 5-7, 2023
For the first time in the history of JRACraft, we will honor Masters of the Medium and Distinguished Educators in the same year! To encourage dynamic conversation and recognize the blurring of medium-based boundaries, we will highlight a mix of 3-5 Masters of the Medium and Distinguished Educators each year, starting with the 2023 Spring Craft Weekend titled "On View / What's New."

JRACraft has been recognizing excellence at Spring Craft Weekend since 1997, when the Master of the Medium award was founded. Since then, some of the most significant American Craft artists and educators have been honored including Harvey Littleton, Arline Fisch, Peter Voulkous, Wendy Maruyama, Lenore Tawney, Albert Paley and Joyce Scott.
​

ABOUT THE MASTER OF THE MEDIUM AWARD
The JRACraft Master of the Medium Award is demonstrated by excellence in craftsmanship, influence on a craft medium and overall contribution to the craft field.
