About this Event
In 2024, CraftNOW presents the theme Connectivity which explores family, community, and how craft connects us in an increasingly divided world. We will ask how individual makers, artists, and scholars first connected to craft and how it has shaped their lives. We will also look into how the world of craft connects to other practices and communities: design, media, science, and public health.
