SPRING CRAFT WEEKEND THANK YOU!

5/19/2022

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. ​
