The 15th Annual Arts and Crafts Conference
19-22/9
Through in-depth talks, customized tours, museum visits, and behind-the-scenes collections workshops, we focus on Boston as the intellectual hub for the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States. The appellation "The Hub," coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes in referring to the
Massachusetts State House, is easily translatable to the
complex movement that is our focus. The city was an incubator and a model for reform as exemplified by the still-extant Society of Arts and Crafts and the Ruskinian ideas championed at Harvard. Boston's interpretation of Arts and Crafts reflected its Puritan heritage as "a city upon a hill" intended as a beacon for posterity. The conference will also address the continuation of the Arts and Crafts ideals in the Studio Craft movement.
