San Diego’s Crafts Revolution
Mingei International Museum will open an original exhibition that documents an overlooked chapter of San Diego’s recent past, Oct. 16. San Diego’s Craft Revolution – From Post-War Modern to California Design will reveal the important contribution of San Diego craftsmen to the post-war Southern California art scene. Over 60 artists will be featured in the show. Many of these San Diego-based artists received national attention and participated in major Los Angeles exhibitions, including the California Design series held in Pasadena and Los Angeles.
