This exhibition invites you to explore the dynamic intersection of Fine Crafts and Fine Arts, where tradition meets innovation and boundaries dissolve. Once seen as distinct disciplines, these two realms now intertwine, challenging conventional definitions and offering fresh perspectives on artistic expression.

Fine Crafts celebrate the mastery of materials, transforming everyday objects into works of art. Each piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship and technical precision, creating a seamless fusion of form and function while maintaining a deep connection to materiality and tradition. Fine Arts, on the other hand, prioritizes conceptual depth and aesthetic exploration over practicality, emphasizing emotional and intellectual resonance. Through the exploration of abstract ideas and thematic expression, artists embrace unrestricted creative freedom.

In today’s evolving art world, the lines between Fine Crafts and Fine Art are increasingly fluid. This exhibition celebrates that convergence, showcasing works that defy traditional classifications and highlight the shared elements of skill, creativity, and artistic vision.

A diverse array of pieces by Bay Area artists, including three sculptures by the late Michael Carey, are being shown at SCA as a part of the show. The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, innovative material use, and the creative vision behind each work. Through this curated collection, viewers are invited to explore the nuanced relationship between Fine Crafts and Fine Art, discovering beauty and artistry that transcend conventional boundaries.

Please note, the gallery is closed to public Wednesday 3/19 to Wednesday 3/26.
