A tradition established at the very beginning of the American Craft Council shows, the Awards of Excellence recognize extraordinary work in a field of stellar artists. Accolades include guaranteed entry into next year’s San Francisco show and a cash prize. This year, the trustees of the Council are also pleased to recognize one of our emerging show artists exhibiting as part of the inaugural Hip Pop program.
