COMMUNITY at the Society for Contemporary Craft

Outreach Programs

In keeping with the Society for Contemporary Craft's mission "to engage the public in the creative experience as expressed through contemporary crafts" educational programming is planned for many different audiences including general visitors and their children, SCC members, schools (both for students and teachers), students in literacy programs, at-risk youth, and residents of nursing homes. SCC's educational objectives are to involve the community in the appreciation and expression of art through craft media, to strengthen appreciation of the creative process as an important component in everyone's life, and to assist visitors in integrating exhibition information outside the gallery.
