We’re excited to announce the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation’s 2024 Awards in Craft, honoring individual craftspeople and artists for their unique and visionary approach to material-based practice, stewardship of cultural traditions, and craft's potential to connect people, places and ideas.
Please join us in congratulating Cristina Córdova, Ibrahim Said, Nisha Bansil, Raul De Lara, and Thea Alvin!
The program’s newest cohort features recipients whose work spans clay, glass, stone, and wood, among other media. Their practices draw upon a range of artistic traditions as well as ecological, personal and social influences, representing the multifaceted realities of contemporary craft.
Awards committee panelists recognized their visionary approach to material-based practice, their potential to make significant contributions to their craft in the future and the potential for this award to provide momentum at a critical career and project junctures. Each craftsperson will receive $100,000 in unrestricted funds, supporting them as they grow in their careers and propel their work forward.
