Visiting Artist Program

The Visiting Artist Program has been in place since the beginning of Craft Alliance. In the first ten years, grants from the National Endowment for Humanities helped fund a Visiting Artist lecture series. Since then, Craft Alliance has attracted internationally renowned artists for lectures, demonstrations, hands on workshops and exhibitions.

The Visiting Artist Program is designed to introduce the public to and educate the public about fine contemporary craft and to offer everyone an opportunity to learn from established fine craft artists.

Weekend Studios for Adults

Weekend Studios are a series of workshops designed to introduce, educate and allow students to experience many of the creative possibilities at Craft Alliance. Many of the workshops are conducted by well established craft artists who are supported by the Visiting Artist Program, and scholarships are available to students who qualify.

There are approximately 12 Weekend Studios workshops that are designed seasonally and cover all of the craft media. Workshops are announced in each class session catalog and on our website.
