About this organization
Mission
CC's mission is "to engage the public in creative experiences through contemporary craft." A key aspect is helping people to see the connections between creativity, making and daily life. Known for its deep commitment to innovation and quality, CC presents the best national and international, multidisciplinary and multicultural contemporary art in craft media (clay, metal, fiber, wood, glass and found materials), and showcases important techniques, concepts and artists in the field. At CC, visitors see and experience what happens when makers push the boundaries of traditional craft media, making something old new again.
