Exhibition Proposals 2022 & 2023 The Appalachian Center for Craft

The Appalachian Center for Craft (ACC) is pleased to receive submis­sion propos­als from artists/​craftspeople and cura­tors for exhi­bi­tions for 2022 and 2023.

We’re inter­ested in culti­vat­ing and show­cas­ing work that strength­ens the role of craft in contem­po­rary culture. We exhibit tradi­tional and contem­po­rary fine craft by emerg­ing, mid-career, and estab­lished craft artists. We are seeking work that high­lights mastery in crafts­man­ship, cele­brates craft, and/​or pushes the bound­aries of craft. Exhi­bi­tions can be indi­vid­ual or group shows.

The selec­tion commit­tee will be looking for bodies of work/​installations that are cohe­sive, well-consid­ered, infor­ma­tive, and which promote craft and contem­po­rary craft prac­tices. Exhi­bi­tions are two months in dura­tion and a $200 hono­rar­ium per exhi­bi­tion is offered to help support shipping/​delivery of artwork. Artwork is insured while on the premises.
