8th Annual Juried Exhibition: Transformative Craft
Artworks selected for Transformative Craft will highlight the unique possibilities of transforming traditional craft materials into contemporary works of art.

These works by Catherine Drabkin, Martha Hayden, and Karen Antonelli highlight the experimentation, tactility, and play that is characteristic of collagraph printmaking. Each artist repurposes everyday items and cast-off materials to develop their own unique printing techniques and visual language.
