Spector Craft Prize for Emerging Artists

Subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest news on the Spector Craft Prize! Celebrating Excellence in American Craft The things made by hand matter differently. A handmade object carries the trace of its maker, the legacy of tradition, and the integrity of materials transformed through skill and vision. In preserving and celebrating craft, we preserve something essential about what it means to be human. Through three interconnected programs, the Spector Craft Prize champions makers at pivotal moments in their careers through awards, mentorship, and community building—investing in those who will shape the future of American craft.
