2022 American Craft Council Awards Celebration
Every other year, the Council bestows four types of awards to recognize the inspiring individuals and organizations who are moving the field forward. Congratulations to Karen Hampton on her induction to the College of Fellows.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate and honor our 2022 awardees. These individuals have dedicated their careers to craft. Through their work as artists, as educators and mentors, as curators, as scholars, and as advocates, they have inspired and informed us and the field.
Since 1975 the American Craft Council Awards recognize those individuals and organizations who are moving the field forward in a myriad of ways. During the course of this event we honored six gold medalists, eight fellows, and three honorary fellows selected by a committee of past fellows. The recipients of the Award of Distinction and the Aileen Osborn Webb Award for Philanthropy were selected by the Board of Trustees of the American Craft Council.
