Prospectus

Whether one is a fine craft artist through vocation or avocation, pursuing a career or a life enriching passion, the Wisconsin Designer Crafts Council has served Wisconsin’s fine craft community for 104 years. In that time, the organization has changed and evolved, spurred by the needs of our members and the times in which they worked, while continuing to offer sales and exhibition opportunities, workshops and professional development programs.

Entry for the WDCC 2020 Biennial Members Exhibition, “Makers and Masters...Tradition in Transition” is open to all members, be they Master Craft Artists with decades of experience, new Makers at the beginning of their creative evolution, or mature members devoting more time to their creative passions after leaving other careers. Collaborative work between members will be accepted, and collaborations between “Masters and Makers” are especially encouraged.

Applications will be accepted through November 15. Notification of accepted works will be sent by the end of November.

Application fee: $25 for up to three entries. This is a juried exhibition. Artwork entered must be original, crafted by the artist and not shown in a previous WDCC Biennial or Plymouth Arts Center exhibition. A total of $1,000 will be awarded for First, Second and Third place.
