THE JAMES RENWICK ALLIANCE FOR CRAFT ANNOUNCES THE founders fund in honor of LLOYD HERMAN
​In honor of one of the founders of the James Renwick Alliance for Craft and the founder of the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery, we announce the creation of the Founders Fund. This fund will be dedicated to securing the future of JRACraft, providing opportunities for further organizational growth and advancement in support of our mission. "Like Lloyd, JRACraft is dedicated to the education and appreciation of American Craft. It is with this fund that we hope to pursue new initiatives and further support our role in these efforts nationally." says Executive Director, Jaimianne Jacobin.

In Lloyd's last email to the Alliance, he said "I’m very proud of what is now the James Renwick Alliance for Craft, and its importance nationally." Today, you can help us further support what Lloyd and our esteemed founders began over 40 years ago by making a contribution to this new fund.

​Support our future and the  legacy OF OUR FOUNDERS with a gift to the Alliance.
