Jobs at Contemporary Craft

Presenting contemporary art in craft materials by international, national, and regional artists since 1971, Contemporary Craft offers innovative exhibitions focused on multi-cultural diversity and contemporary art, as well as a range of hands-on workshops, community engagement programming, and a retail store.

For us at Contemporary Craft, we associate the word craft most readily with the materiality of our field and focus primarily on ceramic, fiber, glass, metal, and wood.

Most importantly, craft to us emanates from community and lineage; much like it would have historically through processes and practices, passed on from one individual to another. In our eyes it’s one of the most democratic art forms, practiced by people of all ages and socio-economic and racial backgrounds. This distinction affords craft the opportunity to instigate critical conversation, and has the potential to be life-changing.

The contemporary nature of our organization is that we challenge ourselves and artists to produce cutting-edge exhibitions and experiences through the use of those traditional craft materials.

At the root of work is the invitation to you – to engage with us so that we can narrate together what exactly it means for something to be craft.
