The 2024 Craft Archive Fellowship will foster archival research on underrepresented and non-dominant craft histories in the United States.
Proposals are welcome from a range of emerging to established scholars, including artists researchers. Funding is intended to support independent research and is not intended to support research conducted on behalf of an institution, organization, or 501c3.
Archives are repositories for and collections of primary source materials where people can conduct research. However, the histories preserved and stored within institutional libraries and archives often reflect the dominant cultural narratives, limiting the types of histories that can be told. Therefore, this fellowship takes an expansive understanding of what an archive is, to delimit what an archive can be. For the purpose of this grant, the Center for Craft understands archival craft research to be, but not limited to:
Digital and in-person archives: Recipients can direct their research towards a digital or site-specific archive, such as institutional archives that feature underrepresented craft communities. An in-person visit is not required.
Objects as archives, the study of a new collection of materials, such as oral histories, community-created archives, site or place as an archive.
Funding from this grant can be used to visit more than one archive, as funding and time permits. However, engagement with just one archive is all that is expected.

3 / 6 / 9 is a one-month pour painting group show curated by artist L.A. Pagán, taking place in February 2024 at BxArts Factory Galleries in Bronx, NY. We are currently seeking talented pour painters who specialize in at least one of the ten distinct styles of pour painting. Despite its lack of recognition in the art world, pour painting boasts a rich historical background, requiring meticulous preparation, strategic planning, specific materials, and an array of tools. The primary objective of 3 / 6 / 9 is to showcase the majority of these ten styles, serving as an enlightening platform for education. Attendees of the opening reception, artist talk, and workshops will gain invaluable insights into the diversity of pour painting techniques. If you are an accomplished pour painter who shares our passion for this art form and wishes to participate in this exhibition, we encourage you to submit your application promptly, as space is limited.
