Annual Report 2019 - Craft Council
Transcript of Annual Report 2019 - Craft Council
Annual Report 2019
Craft has never felt so
essential as it does today. In
our sometimes overwhelming
contemporary moment, the act
of making reveals itself as a
powerful catalyst and source of
renewal. With your partnership
in 2019, we reimagined the ways
we can carry this spirit forward
into the work of the American
Craft Council.
We started by transforming our
mission statement into a call to
action to connect, galvanize,
and grow
craft’s impact.
A measure of
our success will
be seeing craft
ecologies – the
collaborative,
creative networks
that form around
making – thrive
across the
country. These
ecosystems have real economic
impact for artists as well as
intellectual underpinnings
and social consequences. We
worked to bolster all three.
With a long history of
supporting makers in the
marketplace, we are working
to evolve our shows into public
forums that energize regional
craft communities. Prompting
attendees to engage with
making through hands-on
experiences, our shows appeal
to the creative, entrepreneurial
spirit in all of us – the life
force by which craft ecologies
flourish.
Writing and publishing
about craft works to grow
our collective understanding
and appreciation for making,
and the ACC Library and
Archives and American Craft magazine uniquely position our
organization to connect people
to opportunities and resources.
Wherever we share artists’
stories or prompt discussion,
we are growing the number of
lives that craft has touched.
Just as making opens us to a
deeper engagement with our
communities, we are working
toward greater diversity,
inclusiveness,
and equity in
our field. Our
programming
has helped us
embrace craft in
a broader sense
and affirm both
the tangible
and intangible
rewards and
impacts of
our material practices and
knowledge.
As a highlight of the year,
our “Present Tense: 2019”
conference investigated what
goes into cultivating craft
ecologies, taking Philadelphia
as a case study. Our collective
learnings from this weekend are
already guiding us as we work
to make craft embedded and
durable within our communities,
societies, and individual lives.
This charge calls for the help of
many hands, and above all we
thank you – members, donors,
program partners, artists,
volunteers, and so many more
– for your generous support of
our work. Together, we create a
craft ecology worth celebrating.
Cultivating craft ecologies
1American Craft Council
Sarah Schultz
Executive Director
Charles E. Duddingston
Chair, Board of Trustees
The American Craft Council connects and galvanizes diverse craft communities to advance craft’s impact in contemporary American life.
American Craft Shows are
vibrant marketplaces through
which we’re investing in the
future of craft. Not only do
show purchases directly
support artist livelihoods, but
every customer interaction
seeds an ongoing relationship.
3American Craft Council2
You helped invigorate creative economies
We welcomed 113 emerging
artists into a community
of exhibitors through Hip
Pop, gave students from 9
different programs invaluable
marketplace experience
through School-to-Market, and
introduced attendees to 31 local
craft organizations via hands-
on, Let’s Make opportunities.
Craft Bash 2019, our festive
market event in Minneapolis,
activated the local craft
community, bringing more than
70 Minnesota makers and 2,700
shoppers together to celebrate
all things handmade.
“Present Tense: 2019” drew
upon the spirit of Philadelphia
as a craft capital, with
participants exploring the
city via walking and bus tours
and celebrating the local
craft ecosystem at after-hours
events.
Jenny Fong, Hip Pop Graduate
“I just finished my fifth and final year in the American Craft Council’s Hip Pop Emerging Artists Program. I can’t say enough about how this program helped me grow as an artist. I learned how to do wholesale, how to work with galleries and buyers, and how to just present my work in a better manner. It really pushed me to grow and change at a faster pace, and the American Craft Council provided amazing resources and mentors for us. The best thing, though, was getting to know the other Hip Pop artists, many of whom have become dear friends to me.”

A three-month exhibition at the
Minnesota Museum of American
Art called “The Good Making
of Good Things” brought the
history of our magazine to life
and exposed the ACC Library to
new audiences.
“Present Tense: 2019” raised
up the ideas and experiences
of 42 main stage speakers
with various relationships to
craft. Panels, presentations,
personal object stories, and
hands-on workshops at
craft organizations across
Philadelphia challenged
convention and explored the
ways making can transform our
lives.
ACC added to the National
Council on Education for the
Ceramic Arts’ conference, too,
leading a panel on Minnesota’s
ceramics scene and welcoming
more than 300 attendees to a
reception in our library.
You helped grow craft knowledge
The ACC Library – a rich craft resource
20,000 books and exhibition catalogues
3,000 individual artist files
100 periodicals on making, and more
American Craft magazine – connecting readers to craft
180,000 readers of print and online content
118 articles in 6 issues
185 artists and maker communities highlighted
79 exhibitions previewed
34 writers commissioned (16 new to the magazine)
3 awards for design
The only US publication devoted to craft in all its mediums
Sarah Darro, 2019 Emerging Voices scholar and “Tense Present” curator
“‘Tense Present,’ staged exactly fifty years after ‘OBJECTS: USA,’ could be classified as ‘post-object.’ It is less about the final result and more about the work’s conceptual basis as informed by process.”
Our biennial Emerging Voices
Awards celebrated a diverse
cohort of up-and-coming
makers and thinkers. A
multifaceted exhibition called
“Tense Present” brought their
work and object stories to
Philadelphia in conjunction with
our conference, with a limited
edition catalogue beautifully
capturing their impact in the
field.
7American Craft Council6 American Craft Council
The ACC Library also provided a
hub for communities to gather,
discuss, and collaborate. We’re
proud to have hosted a textile
group for an object storytelling
session, a Wikipedia edit-a-thon
in conjunction with the Art +
Feminism project, and a range
of other local and national
organizations for various meet-
ups and programs.
You affirmed the impact of making
Gary J. Smith, attorney, collector, and ACC trustee, on “Present Tense: 2019”
“This was a conference that dealt with big ideas, hard questions, and sensitive topics. [ACC] put together panels that were diverse in race, gender, age, and sexual identity. The speakers, almost without exception, were articulate, interesting, and substantive. The conference confronted important issues to our society, seen through the lens of the craft community. I came away from the experience feeling educated, enlightened, entertained, and hopeful.”
