Summary

1. "This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World showcases American craft like never before. The exhibition catalogue highlights the role that artists play in our world to spark essential conversations, stories of resilience, and methods of activism-showing us a more relational and empathetic world. It centers more expansive definitions and acknowledgments of often-overlooked histories and contributions of women, people of color, and other marginalized communities. This Present Moment marks the fiftieth anniversary of SAAM's Renwick Gallery as the nation's preeminent center for the enjoyment of American craft. It honors the history of studio craft while also introducing progressive contemporary narratives and supporting makers of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, abilities, and creeds by examining all forms of creative practice. Featured artists include Tanya Aguiñiga, Nick Cave, David Chatt, Sonya Clark, Cristina Cordova, Cindy Drozda, Alicia Eggert, J. Paul Fennell, Aram Han Sifuentes, Carla Hemlock (Kanienkeháka), Sharon Kerry-Harlan, Ron Ho, Katie Hudnall, Pat Kramer, Stephen Young Lee, Linda Lopez, Robert Lugo, Wendy Maruyama, Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, Tom Loeser, John Mascoll, Connie Mississippi, George Nakashima, LJ Roberts, Judith Schaechter, Preston Singletary, Polly Adams Sutton, Toshiko Takaezu, Gail Tremblay ( Mi'kmaq and Onondaga), Nancy Worden, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, and many more"--
