Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with an exhibition honoring the traditional crafts that have shaped our nation’s history. This exhibit showcases the timeless skills that have been passed down through generations, featuring works inspired by and created using historic techniques such as wood carving, weaving, metalsmithing, basketry, pottery, glassblowing, printmaking, and painting. These enduring art forms tell the story of the hands that built communities, preserved culture, and transformed everyday materials into objects of beauty and purpose. Join us this month in celebrating the artistry and creative heritage that continues to inspire makers today.
