“We have a vast wealth of talent and ability in New England,” says curator,
Jim Schantz, “which clearly identifies the quality of our academic and
technical programs, as well as establishing this part of the country as a
region for creative growth. This artistic vigor reflects the strength of
such programs at RISD, Mass Art, MIT, Salem State, and the Worcester Center
for Crafts, as well as the numerous private glass studios. I hope this
exhibition will continue the dialogue about the identity of a region that
has great sources in education and environment for artists.”

About the Worcester Center for Crafts

The Worcester Center for Crafts (WCC) is one of the oldest non-profit
institutions for craft study in the United States. Founded in 1856 as the
Worcester Employment Society to help immigrant women produce and sell
handcrafted wares to support their families, the Center evolved into New
England’s leading center for craft education, exhibition, and
entrepreneurship. In 2004, the organization expanded and opened the New
Street Glass Studio- an off campus, 8000 square foot state-of-the –art
multi-studio glass facility. The WCC offers the only comprehensive glass
studio program in New England available to the public. Through an
affiliation begun in 2009, the WCC is home to the Worcester State
University’s visual arts studios.

The Craft Center’s mission: The Craft Center's mission is "to inspire and
build a creative community" by providing high-quality craft education and
training, by supporting craft artists in their professions, and through
advocacy and public education initiatives including adult education classes
and workshops, exhibitions showcasing the work of established and emerging
artists, artist residencies, lectures, family events, studio rentals,
Gallery Store, its Youth Craft + Creativity program and major events. The
WCC is a member of the Worcester Cultural Coalition and receives funding
from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
