Now in its 40th year, the Smithsonian Craft Show celebrates the best in contemporary American craft and design. The annual event is scheduled to take place at the National Building Museum from April 20 to 24—in person for the first time since 2019. The show will spotlight the work of 120 jury-selected artists from around the country; the theme, Future Focus, emphasizes new directions in materials, fabrication and design. Look for basketry, ceramics, fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, wearable art and wood. Proceeds support Smithsonian research, education, outreach and conservation efforts. smithsoniancraftshow.org
