Two: The Store
As The Store’s reputation for featuring unique work by nationally recognized craft artists has grown, we have become increasingly selective about the artists whose work we choose to feature. Artists interested in representation in The Store should submit six slides or digital images, an artist statement, resume, support materials and pricing structure to:

Store Manager

Three: The Studio
The Studio offers three semesters annually of day, evening and weekend classes in contemporary and traditional craft media for adults and teens. SCC instructors include university professors, internationally known visiting artists, and production studio craftsmen. The Studio’s primary focus on distinctive offerings developed around four key themes: urban experience, artist and process, art and the environment, and crossing cultural boundaries deepens SCC’s craft niche, and strengthens ties to SCC’s exhibitions of work by national and international artists for a complete educational experience.

Artist instructors interested in sharing their enthusiasm and expertise with students in The Studio are asked to provide a class proposal, samples of your work, and references. Instructors must possess excellent organizational, communication, and teaching skills.
