Museum of Craft and Design

OBJECTS: USA

September 5, 2026 – January 10, 2027

This landmark exhibition revisits the groundbreaking 1976 OBJECTS: USA show that revolutionized how America viewed studio craft. Bringing together works by over 300 artists across clay, fiber, glass, metal, and wood, the original exhibition became the definitive record of the craft movement. Now, fifty years later, the Museum of Craft and Design presents a contemporary iteration that pairs iconic works from the original show with pieces by today's makers, exploring both the dramatic evolution of craft practices and the enduring creative spirit that defines American artisanship. Whether through new technologies or timeless techniques, the artists featured demonstrate the remarkable vitality and diversity that continues to flow from America's maker culture.
