The NBO All Things Considered exhibitions over the past 15 years have become an important record of artistic work being done within traditional and contemporary basketry. They are unique in their focus on basketry and in their inclusion of the full range of work being executed by well-known and emerging artists.

The goal of the exhibition is to showcase benchmarks of excellence in traditional and sculptural basketry that demonstrate superior technique and original concept and design.

NBO encourages both established and emerging artists to submit work.
