Fuller Craft Museum proudly presents Soul of a Nation: Voices of Resilience in Ukrainian Folk Art, a multimedia exhibition celebrating Ukraine’s rich artistic heritage and enduring creative spirit. Highlighting the profound role of traditional crafts as acts of resistance and cultural preservation, the exhibition features Zaporizhzhya embroidered textiles, hand-painted pysanka (Easter eggs), Crimean-Tatar ceramics, Hutsul wood art, and Petrykivka painting. Through vivid colors, floral motifs, geometric patterns, and multiple media on view, visitors will witness the resilience and creativity that define Ukraine’s enduring cultural identity.

The exhibition A Shared Legacy: Gifts from the Robyn and John Horn Collection celebrates a transformative donation to Fuller Craft Museum’s permanent collection by collectors Robyn and John Horn. The important gift of 32 objects includes many significant examples of American craft by prominent artists such as Stephen De Staebler, Hoss Haley, Robyn Horn, Mary Giles, Harvey Littleton, Albert Paley, and more. Many craft media are represented in the grouping, including wood, metals, ceramic, basketry, glass, and stone.

Fuller Craft Museum is the recent recipient of stellar examples of enamel arts, gifted from the Enamel Arts Foundation Collection as part of their national initiative to increase access to this extraordinary genre of contemporary craft. These acquisitions represent a broad range of artistic interests, subjects, and techniques. The selection, currently on view, includes wearable forms, three-dimensional objects, and wall-mounted plaques and panels, allowing audiences an overview of enameling along with insight into the various forms artists have used in their exploration of this medium.

Small Wonders includes work by some of the leading figures in late 20th-century American enameling such as June Schwarcz, Harold B. Helwig, Joseph Trippetti, Barbara Minor, Kate Berl, and Sarah Perkins. The exhibition will also display works from emerging leaders in the field, namely Martha Banyas, Jessica Calderwood, and Zachery Lechtenberg. What’s more, the inclusion of New England artists Lilyan Bachrach, Marion Lang, Rick McMullen, and Barbara Seidenath engages artists living and working in the region.

Fuller Craft Museum’s 2025 Members’ Biennial: Town and Country offers all of us a chance to celebrate the artistic excellence of our community. Juried by artist Cicely Carew, currently on display in Cicely Carew: BeLOVEd, this exhibition is comprised of 30 works representing the diverse and innovative creative practices of Fuller Craft Museum members. This show includes a wide range of media, touching on all five primary craft disciplines: fiber, clay, metal, wood, and glass. This group of objects demonstrates the importance of celebrating makers in our region by highlighting the ongoing importance of craft in our every day lives.
