Partners in Craft

Contemporary Craft is pleased to offer six nonprofit organizations per year, the opportunity to partner with us to present creative programming in our Studios. Each program will be designed by the partner organization, with input and guidance from Contemporary Craft staff, to meet the needs of your organization and those you serve.  This opportunity allows organizations to have access to the Studio spaces, tools, and equipment at Contemporary Craft to design and implement a craft based program with resources they might not have otherwise.

 

What do partner organizations receive?

  • Five full days of Studio access.  This can be broken down in whatever way best suites the needs of each partner.
  • 12 hours of CC staff time for curriculum consultation and/or teaching
  • $450 materials stipend

What do Partners in Craft programs look like?

Creative Citizen Studios

Contemporary Craft welcomed Creative Citizen Studios into our Studios for a week in the summer.  Their mornings were spent in the Metals Studio learning about metal stamping, soldering, and assemblage, and their afternoons were spent in the Fibers Studio learning felting, and paper making.

Family Care Connections

Family Care Connections visited the Contemporary Craft Studios once a month over the course of several months to complete their Nursery Rhyme Art – Literacy through Art program.  During their time in the Studios they learned metal stamping, sewing, laser cutting wood and acrylic, and enameling on copper.

“Working with the Lawrenceville FCC and CC partnerships was amazing.  Skills I never even imagined were presented.  The growth that I encountered as a creator was incredible.  I look forward to more classes and projects with both organizations.”
