SUMMARY:Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft
DESCRIPTION:The word craft-itarianism was coined by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez to name artistic projects that generate employment\, raise awareness\, or offer therapeutic support through craft. These programs provide a space where people affected by addiction\, incarceration\, and gun violence can find solidarity while learning a skill. \nCraft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft celebrates nonprofits and artists who believe in—and actively practice—the power of craft to support and empower individuals and communities.  \nThis exhibition was curated by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez. Launched in 2017\, the Curatorial Fellowship supports emerging curators exploring new ideas about craft with mentorship\, professional development\, and a $5\,000 honorarium to realize an exhibition. \nOn view February 27\, 2026–September 27\, 2026

SUMMARY:Magic with Kate Shela

SUMMARY:The Other Mozart
DESCRIPTION:The Other Mozart is an award-winning\, Drama Desk nominated play telling the true\, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart\, the genius sister of Amadeus — a prodigy\, keyboard virtuoso and composer\, who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim\, but her work and her story faded away\, lost to history. \nSet in a stunning 18-foot dress\, this production by playwright Sylvia Milo ushers you into a world of opulence and delight – obscured by restriction and prejudice. The music score brings Nannerl’s musical imagination to life using clavichords\, music boxes\, teacups\, and fluttering fans. Inspired by the Mozart family’s hilarious and heartbreaking letters\, this other Mozart at last tells her story.

SUMMARY:Midnight North
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nBUCK MEEK\nA gleaner of the forgotten\, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror\, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD\, there’s a tender power\, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity\, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend\, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask\, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer. \nMeek grew up in Wimberley\, Texas\, teenage protege to an old guard of mystic Texas songwriters and musicians. He later moved to New York where he met Adrianne Lenker. The two lived in a van while singing their songs across the country before forming Big Thief. \nThe partnership of Meek and producer\, James Krivchenia\, emerged from a decade of work together in Big Thief. Conceptually\, The Mirror emerged from the idea to combine Meek’s band’s live\, kinetic energy with an oblique electronic world. The pair invited a collective atmosphere in which simultaneous experiment could occurr––the musicians responded to each other in real time\, while their instruments triggered modular synthesizers and electronic magic boxes. The Mirror welcomed in friends\, family\, longtime collaborators from ranging musical eras of life as vital co-creators. New creative partners and longtime friends like composer and ambient musician Alex Somers joined in on synthesizer\, toy microphone\, and piano\, and Mary Lattimore brought in the sounds of her prismatic harp. \nLexical mirrors are handheld\, tactile\, and kept close throughout the record––each one holding up a new truth. The Mirror aptly embraces the unknown with an abiding curiosity and Meek continues to reveal his skill as translator of human feeling and its endless portals. The Mirror looks for duality\, finding it in the weeds and overgrowth. \n“My demon is my darkness and my darkness is my angel / \nI taught him how to read\, now I’m teaching him to write.”
