OCTOBER 2021 CRAFT NEWSLETTER
CRAFT CONFERENCES & EXHIBITIONS
​COMPILED BY JRACRAFT MEMBER, BRENDA ERICKSON
Learn about craft exhibitions happening around the world through the monthly James Renwick Alliance Newsletter or join our mailing list to get regular updates about upcoming events. ​
***Due to the shutdowns and various restrictions on gathering, the exhibitions listed below are tentative and may be changed without notice.  While most of the venues are open; others have closed again for the new outbreak.  The timetables for exhibitions are still in a state of flux. If planning to visit, please call ahead to verify the events are still open or require reservations.  A small benefit is that many venues have put their shows online and added other objects to their websites which are rarely seen online or in person.  As they say, it is best to call ahead.
