ABOUT US:
CRAFTMAKERS has a new name! We are now the CENTRAL COAST CRAFT COALITION, an independent group of artists working in a variety of 2-D and 3-D mediums. We seek to expand and improve as artisans by hosting and participating in multiple specialized exhibitions over the next few years, which will be held in delightfully unique spaces. Several exhibition opportunities are currently in the planning stages. We have access to a wide variety of jurors and curators from various regions and backgrounds, and a new director to help us advance, not only as a group, but as an inclusive SLO County fine craft community.
There are quite a few untapped potential exhibition spaces out there that are worth exploring. Many of us can benefit from having our work enjoyed by a wider audience.
Primarily, the shows hosted by our group have been exhibitions at Art Center Morro Bay, by way of the Central Coast Artists Collective. Both of these entities have been very generous with inclusion over these past few years. Please support them if you can.
Until we meet each other and exchange information, leads, connections, agendas etc., I’ll be continuing to move forward with gathering information to report back to our group.
Many of you have great ideas that you may have been ruminating on for years! For now, please spread the word and encourage anyone in your art circle to join the CC CRAFT COALITION, through the Central Coast Artists Collective.
