Arlington Arts Center (AAC) hosts
the national exhibit INTERWOVEN: Art.Craft.Design.
The AAC mounted this
exhibition as a way to emphasize and expand the creative dialog around the
ever-blurring boundaries between craft, design and fine art.
Juried by Melissa Messina,
Senior Curator at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Kathryn Wat, Chief
Curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the jurors were especially
interested in artists who explore DIY practices, engage in the reclamation of
craft-based materials, re-examine design aesthetics, and otherwise reinvent
cross-disciplinary genres within the dialog of contemporary art.

artists working around the corner and as far away as Houston, TX.
