Craft ACT turns 50

Craft ACT is launching its 50th anniversary artistic program with two exhibitions celebrating transformation. Ceramacist Janet DeBoos has collaborated with contemporary visual artist Wendy Teakel to create Intersections: Two artists' approach to landscape through dialogue, making and getting lost. This exhibition of ceramics, drawings, paintings and sculptures explores "getting lost" as an approach to creative practice, inspired by Rebecca Solnit's book A Field Guide to Getting Lost. The Emerging Contemporaries exhibition is Craft ACT's annual showcase of outstanding graduates and emerging craft practitioners from the ACT and surrounding region to kick-start their creative trajectory. The exhibitions are on at Craft ACT until March 20, 2021. There is a floor talk by DeBoos and Teakel on Saturday, February 6 at 1pm and one on March 13 at 1pm with contemporary artists. Bookings essential for both. craftact.org.au.
