On Thursday, October 16, New York gallery owner, curator and historian Garth Clark will present “How Envy Killed the Crafts Movement: An Autopsy in Two Parts” at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Swigert Commons. In this two-part program, Clark will analyze the current state of American Craft, then invite the audience to join him in an examination of how aesthetics, economics and art-envy have “killed” this 20th century movement. One of craft’s most influential intellectuals, this is a special opportunity to hear and discuss Clark’s provocative ideas. The lecture is free, open to the public and is co-presented by Museum of Contemporary Craft, Oregon College of Art & Craft and Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Please be sure to arrive early to get a good seat; we anticipate a large crowd. We look forward to seeing you there!
