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.

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:An Artful Journey: Turner and Onstable at Tate Britain
DESCRIPTION:Fire and Water: Turner\, Constable\, and a Rivalry That Redefined Landscape Painting \nTravel to Tate Britain\, London\, for a landmark exhibition uniting two of the most influential—and competitive—figures in British art.
