FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE SOUGHT WAYS TO AMPLIFY OUR ALUMNI IN OUR EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS, CREATING A MORE INTEGRATED AND ONGOING SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR OUR AWARDEES BEYOND THEIR INITIAL FUNDING. THE CENTER SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH AND CRAFT SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH THE CRAFT RESEARCH FUND AND CRAFT ARCHIVE FELLOWSHIP.

IN FY25, THE CENTER WELCOMED 11,542 GALLERY VISITORS, EXHIBITED THE WORK OF 54 ARTISTS, AND HOSTED 1,448 VIRTUAL PROGRAM ATTENDEES. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE CENTER DESIGNED AND PRODUCED A NEW MATERIALS COLLECTION. THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPLORATION AND OBSERVATION, AUDIENCES MAY EXPLORE MATERIALS COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH CRAFT TO DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING. THE MATERIALS COLLECTION WAS FUNDED BY THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES AND SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY THE CENTER FOR NATIVE HEALTH. THE CENTER FOR CRAFT'S HISTORIC 1912 FACILITY ALSO OFFERS OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET TO HOST PROGRAMS, MEETINGS, AND EVENTS IN CLASSROOM, CONFERENCE, AND COWORKING SPACES ("COWORK"). THE CENTER FOR CRAFT IS A DESTINATION AND RESOURCE FOR VISITORS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY BY FULFILLING THE CULTURAL SECTOR'S NEED FOR NETWORKING AND WORKSPACE FOR LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS.
