Collecting Craft with Carr McCuiston

Join us for a talk about Collecting Craft with Carr McCuiston, part of the Hambidge Art Collector Insights series,
on February 26, 4-6pm,
at the Cross-Pollination Art Lab Gallery,
2640 Lindbergh Lane NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 (This address does not show up in online maps. Get directions here.)

Collecting Craft is like collecting other forms of art, or building any kind of collection, so why Craft? Because craft objects are accessible and inventive, they create traditions and personal history, they are interactive and a daily source of beauty, and might even help us create a better society!

Live with the art that moves you! Through a series of informal talks by art experts and collectors, our Art Collector Insights series offer both new and established art collectors a way to learn about different art forms, how to build an art collection, and how to care for that collection.

Bonus! Showing in the gallery is Non Anonymous by Linda Hall & Becki Rutta.

Attendance is very limited! Register now for this free event.

Since 1997, Carr McCuiston has owned and operated Signature, originally know as The Signature Shop & Gallery, in Atlanta, Georgia. Carr worked in the gallery off and on spending nearly 20 years in tutelage of founder Blanche Reeves. Carr completed her Bachelor Fine of Arts degree at Auburn University and then went on to study for a Master’s Degree in Art Education at Georgia State University.

Signature is a contemporary gallery recognized for exhibiting three-dimensional works in a wide variety of media. Our focus on the well-crafted object exemplifies the connection between the hand, the mind, and the heart of the individual maker. Combining thoughtful concepts, innovative design, and a passion for materials, our artists challenge and inform the importance of craft practice. A nationally respected institution for fifty-plus years, Signature strives to develop a broader awareness of handmade, one-off pieces, and to share our desire to enhance our lives with authentic and personal objects.
