The 21st Annual Academy Art Museum Craft Show opened its doors at 10 AM today and will do the same Sunday at the Museum and the Waterfowl Building where 70 artists have their work on display. As Craft Show Chairman Craig Fuller explains, “come join us where you have an opportunity to view and purchase fine craft, meet inspired artists and support the mission of the Academy Art Museum.”
Best body of work, Fong Choo
The Craft Show Preview Event, held Friday evening, saw over two hundred Museum patrons and sponsors get an early look at the show. The Craft Show Committee offered all who participated something new, the Dazzled Choice Awards. All attendees were giving the chance to vote on their favorite artists. These choices along with the judge’s choices from the evening, and even an online Choice Award, are all part of the program for Saturday.
