ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Art can be a portal to other worlds. It can offer us glimpses into the future and ways to shape the present. Crafting Tomorrow features five artists whose work explores what our lives, communities, and environment could look like in many possible futures. A day, a year, or a hundred years from now, how will visions of tomorrow trace back to today and reach even further into the past? How can our current engagement with urgent issues influence these trajectories? Whether an  artist’s vision is utopian, dystopian, or somewhere in between, these creative projections offer us ways to understand where we are now as much as where we are going tomorrow.

Held in partnership with SDA,  LA Artcore and Textile Arts LA, and highlighting fiber and textile-based materials and techniques, including traditional and cross-disciplinary practices, experimental processes, and material innovation, this exhibition showcases artists who are “crafting tomorrow”.
