Nowhere else on the Atlantic seaboard is there a craft museum that produces as many exhibitions with such diversity of media and clarity of concepts as this museum. Made in Massachusetts: Studio Furniture of the Bay State, Reversible Reactions: Art Meets Science @ The MIT Glass Lab, Machines and Mechanizations: Explorations in Contemporary Kinetic Sculpture, and The Stories We Tell: Works by Tommy Simpson, Michelle Holzapfel, and Binh Pho were some of the more popular exhibitions. Fuller Craft Museum continues to build on its reputation for excellence in exhibitions nationwide.

We explore the materials, techniques, and artistic expression that challenge the perception of craft, while honoring the achievements of the past. from the executivedirector director This was a thrilling year for the Fuller Craft Museum community, filled with outstanding exhibitions, well-attended receptions, exciting events, and terrific outreach. The staff, museum educators, volunteers, and board members all worked very hard with minimal resources to keep the important functions of the Museum going strong. We were rewarded with a boost in attendance from 15,083 to 18,000 visitors and blessed with steady Museum membership. Great moments this year include the reception for All Things Considered VII, sponsored by the National Basketry Organization with guest speaker Lois Russell. We also celebrated a wood art exhibition with a powerful narrative vein called The Stories We Tell: Works by Tommy Simpson, Michelle Holzapfel, and Binh Pho. Last fall, we had a beautiful wearable art fashion show called Fashion in Motion, featuring the work of Chunghie Lee, her exhibition Bojagi and Beyond, and the unveiling of her work Nameless Women, Blue Durumagi, 2001 – 2005, a CraftBoston 2012 Director’s Choice Award and our new acquisition. In January 2014, our exhibition Machines and Mechanizations: Explorations in Contemporary Kinetic Sculpture and Curator Beth McLaughlin were featured on Jared Bowen’s WGBH TV show “Open Studio” introducing scores of the WGBH viewership to our Museum. Across the Grain: Turned and Carved Wood brought major works by American woodworkers together in Stone and Barstow galleries. Made in Massachusetts: Studio Furniture of the Bay State featured contemporary studio furniture. That exhibition was our contribution to Four Centuries of Massachusetts Furniture, a consortium of a dozen cultural institutions throughout Massachusetts. Generous contributors made it possible for Fuller Craft to publish a 103-page, full color, illustrated catalogue authored by Jeffrey Brown and Pat Warner with support from Michael McMillan and essays by myself and Gerald Ward, designed by Cindy Randall. This landmark exhibition opened with a wonderful reception and lecture by Professor Brock Jobe, Curator of Winterthur Museum and ended with a closing reception with speaker Rosanne Somerson, interim President of RISD and studio furniture maker. Auction house, Skinner, Inc. included a Museum benefit in their 20th Century Design Auction for June 2014. The objects were solicited from both artists and collectors of contemporary crafts. Funds realized ($53,228.73) were dedicated to Museum operations. This was our first auction held in this manner—quite a success! There were some surprising developments as well. I was appointed Trusteeship for the estate of the late Joan Pearson Watkins who had a huge collection of artwork. Distributing these works of art to various 501(c)(3) or public historical societies, museums, and libraries brings considerable curatorial relevance and visibility to Fuller Craft Museum as well as new acquisitions to this Museum. I end this report by mentioning one of my favorite finds from the Joan Pearson Watkins collection. It is a sculpture and drawings by the artist Ruth Asawa of San Francisco (1926 – 2013). Finding this glorious treasure of artwork reminded me of how good fortune for Fuller Craft Museum waits just around the corner. Through diligence, hard work and perseverance, we may be rewarded by discovering the next treasure or the next welcome success. During this one, short, full-throttle year, the staff and docents here at Fuller Craft have certainly proven that. We will continue to strive for excellence as an institution and hope for continued public support and growth. Jonathan Leo Fairbanks Director, Fuller Craft Museum September 2014 3 collections During fiscal year 2014, fifty-nine items entered the collection. Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors and the focused purchase of selected artwork, the collection has grown.

The Symposium committee has sought diverse presentations about these three categories hoping to appeal to widely different tastes. Yet perhaps each one of us is a maker and also a conceptualist AND a career minded person, merging many tastes. Might not a collector of art jewelry, who happens to be a business executive, be engaged with our three categories just like a beginning metals student? Of course they are, for we are all brought together by that great cultural bonding agent, art and its creative process. Let us share our different tastes and celebrate our common passions as we gather for a day all about art! We are excited to be part of this grand adventure and pleased to have attracted not only our esteemed speakers but the following organizations, among others, who are contributing toward our programs: The Bellevue Arts Museum The Allied Arts Foundation The Pratt Fine Arts Center Northwest Designer Craftsmen Artist Trust The Northwest Bead Society Facere Jewelry Art Gallery Jewelry Resource and Supply Allcraft Denise Wallace (Chugach Aleut) and Samuel Wallace: Female Mask with Goggles pin/pendant. 1996 Newsletter cover image: Sterling silver and turquoise Belt buckle by Lee Yazzie, Navajo. 2004 2 www.seattlemetalsguild.org The Eleventh Annual Northwest Jewelry and Metals Symposium 2006 Makers : : Careers : : Concepts Mark your calendars for Saturday October 21, 2006, from 8:30am to 6:00pm, and join us at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in lovely Volunteer Park.

    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements."

Setford brings over 30 years of experience in museums and other arts organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom as a curator, director/administrator, and fundraiser. With an entrepreneurial and community-driven approach, Setford has also been instrumental in organizing exhibitions on a diverse array of iconic artists such as Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keeffe, Gordon Parks, Frida Kahlo, Andrew Wyeth, as well as Northwest artists Jacob Lawrence and Dale Chihuly. Setford’s original expertise was in 19th and 20th century European Art, and later he added a passion for 20th century American Art. “I’m so excited to be moving to Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest, and joining the Tacoma Art Museum,” says Setford. “TAM is a real gem, renowned across the country for its progress over the last 20 years, as well as for its amazing collections. I am delighted and inspired by the fact that I will be working with such a committed board, staff, and collectors and stakeholders such as the Haub and Benaroya families.” Setford comes to TAM from his tenure as the Executive Director of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society and Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His role there encompassed fundraising, community engagement, and collaborating on and raising the profile of exhibitions and programs at the museum to attract a wider cross-section of the local community as well as tourists.
