Help Us Bring Kyoto’s Finest Craft Artists to Boston

This September, the Society of Arts + Crafts will launch a two-month exhibition of works by Kyoto’s finest craft artists: Kogei-Kyoto x SA+C Boston: Contemporary Innovators in Japanese Arts and Crafts. The Artists’ Group Kogei-Kyoto will show nearly 60 pieces of their art at our gallery in the Seaport area of Boston. This is the first time this collective of artists has exhibited in the U.S. as a group, and the show will be one of the artistic highlights marking citywide celebrations of the 60th Anniversary of Boston’s and Kyoto’s status as Sister Cities.

We are delighted to host such an acclaimed group of craft artists and hope you will join in this commemorative moment, which will forge ties between two rich craft communities. We are deepy thankful to Niho Kozuru, Boston-based artist and friend to the Society, for facilitating this collaboration.

Earlier this month, our Executive Director Brigitte Martin sat down with Jenny Johnson of Comcast Newsmakers to talk about the Society's mission, and even offered a hint as to what some of our upcoming shows will be about. Watch the video to learn more!

The Society of Arts + Crafts is proud to announce the winners of the 2019 Artist Awards, whose goal is to honor and reward New England based craftspeople. This year, we award three talented individuals whose practices represent a diverse skill set: Gabrielle Schaffner, Arthur Hash, and John Cameron.

The Society would like to thank our jurors; Rachel Berwick (Head of the RISD glass department), Sadie Bliss (Executive Director of the Maine Crafts Association), Bill May (Executive Director of the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts), Hunter O’Hanian (Executive Director of the College Art Association), Emily Stoehrer (Rita J. Kaplan and Susan B. Kaplan Curator of Jewelry at the MFA Boston), and Brigitte Martin (Executive Director of the Society of Arts + Crafts). We thank you for your insight and discerning eyes.
