Located on Los Angeles’ historic Miracle Mile, and previously known as the Craft and Folk Art Museum, Craft Contemporary was founded in 1965.
With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions.
Craft Contemporary is a place to both see and make art, focusing on redefining craft and folk art.
