The Craft in America Center presents Democracy 2020: Craft & the Election, a dynamic virtual exhibition of works made by 20 artists from across the U.S. to address key issues underlying the 2020 election and the American political landscape. Employing glass, fiber, ceramics, metal, wood and various other craft-based materials of everyday life, these highlighted artists use their media to voice concerns, point out injustice and inequity, and potentially instill hope for a better future.
