Alberta Craft invites submissions for ENVIRON, a curated exhibition exploring how craft artists reveal the environments—ecological, industrial, digital, cultural, and lived—that shape their materials, processes, and meaning.
Craft materials carry histories: extraction, chemistry, labour, land use, technological intervention, cultural memory. ENVIRON examines these material ecologies and the systems that influence them, foregrounding technical skill, thoughtful making, and process-driven inquiry.
This exhibition will feature artists who demonstrate a strong, intentional relationship between material choice, craft technique, and the environmental systems their work references.
This call is open to Alberta Craft artists, you do not need to be a member to apply.
