From the very beginning, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts has been a place for people of all skill levels to form a creative community, and for many, it became a transformative experience. With seventy-five years of programming under Haystack’s belt, there are countless stories to tell.
Over the past six months, a cohort of makers from the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts community has grown together via its Artist Grant Initiative. Eight artists pushing boundaries in design and materials find support through mentorship and an unrestricted grant award. The cohort spans the spectrum of contemporary craft, representing painting, papermaking, glass, neon, ceramics, metalworking, and furniture design.
Haystack Mountain School of Crafts extends its mission to connect people through craft by partnering with craft institutions nationwide for its Distinguished Speaker Series, part of a year of special programming celebrating 75 years since the School’s founding.
