Craft Contemporary

Mission

Founded as a museum in 1973, Craft Contemporary reveals the potential of craft to educate, captivate, provoke, and empower. With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions. Craft Contemporary complements these exhibitions with a creative line-up of educational programs, including hands-on workshops led by professional artists. Craft Contemporary cultivates an environment for people in Los Angeles to deepen their relationship to art, creativity, and one another.

Vision

Craft Contemporary envisions its future as a bold, inclusive, and dynamic cultural hub where craft stands as a champion of artistic practice and as a powerful force for storytelling, innovation, accessibility, sustainability, healing, and social change.

Goals

1.Building a Resilient Future As part of a larger art ecosystem, Craft Contemporary strives for resilience—financial, ecological, and social—so that craft continues to thrive as the protagonist of our shared future.
2.Transforming the Craft Experience At Craft Contemporary, transformation begins with relationships: between artists, audiences, and craft itself. We aim to empower individuals to use craft as a language of communication, a tool for connection, and a sanctuary where diverse voices can flourish.
3.Empowering Our Communities We believe the art of craft lives in every person. Our role is to be a conduit for that connection, ensuring that opportunities to create, learn, and belong are accessible to all.
