This exhibit of selected work by members of the Allied Craftsmen has been masterfully assembled by the Center’s curators. While craft is certainly in evidence in the skillful construction of the pieces, it is the art that stands front and center, and you will see little that is utilitarian. Though the materials are largely organic, found, sculpted, or molded in the spirit of natural objects, the hand of humanity, whether for better or worse, is usually evident. The show includes several pieces by ledge member Kathy Miller. Continues through July 4, 2010. Hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00-4:00 pm, Sunday, 1:00 – 5:00 pm. 760.839.4120
