Vicki Genfan

After winning the esteemed Guitar Player Magazine’s 2008 “Guitar Superstar” award, Vicki exploded onto the international stage with her groundbreaking percussive “slap-tap” acoustic technique. She has ignited audiences at major festivals including the International Montreal Jazz Festival and Germany’s Open Strings Guitar Festival, along with hundreds of performing arts centers across the U.S. and around the world. In addition to being a virtuosic instrumentalist, Vicki is an award winning singer/songwriter and electrifying performer, fusing folk, jazz, pop, soul, and world music into a bold, genre-defying sound all her own.

“If I could play like Vicki, I’d stay home and entertain myself.”

Ali Tod

Scottish guitarist and singer Ali Tod blends modern percussive fingerstyle guitar techniques with classical training and loop-pedal mastery, to create a live acoustic experience that gets hands clapping, hips shaking and feet stomping. Her dazzling guitar skills combined with her powerful, raw vocals have been enthralling audiences at festivals all around the world, and she is now ready to take the USA by storm. If Rodrigo y Gabriela and KT Tunstall combined to make a one-woman show, it would be Ali Tod.

'She's ten times the musician we are, we don't even know why she likes us!'

The word craft-itarianism was coined by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez to name artistic projects that generate employment, raise awareness, or offer therapeutic support through craft. These programs provide a space where people affected by addiction, incarceration, and gun violence can find solidarity while learning a skill.

Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft celebrates nonprofits and artists who believe in—and actively practice—the power of craft to support and empower individuals and communities.

This exhibition was curated by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez. Launched in 2017, the Curatorial Fellowship supports emerging curators exploring new ideas about craft with mentorship, professional development, and a $5,000 honorarium to realize an exhibition.

On view February 27, 2026–September 27, 2026.

This is an exhibition of multiple artists works as they pertain to the interpretation of relationships between color and mood. Consider the emotional power of color and the way it evokes story, atmosphere and meaning. This exhibition hopes to reveal a playful and experimental interaction through color's ability to shape perceptions and influence emotions.
