Exhibition Dates: June 24 – July 29, 2026
Application Deadline: Sunday, May 3
Florida CraftArt presents Future Form, a curated exhibition examining the intersection of technology and traditional craft. The exhibition brings together artists who integrate digital tools, innovative processes, and emerging technologies with time-honored techniques, expanding the possibilities of material and making.
Featuring a range of works, Future Form highlights how artists across the country are reimagining craft in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Curated by St. Petersburg–based artist and Fab Lab Coordinator Mary Ratcliff, the exhibition showcases contemporary makers from across the nation.
Note: Future Form is a “hybrid” open-call and invitational exhibition, meaning that it will include a combination of artists invited directly by the curator and artists chosen from the open call-for-entry by the curator.
