Please join Glenn Adamson, Senior Yale Center for British Art Scholar at a Concord Museum Form on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, 5:00pm to 6:00pm for a discussion of his new book, Craft: An American History, which is described as “a groundbreaking and endlessly surprising history of how artisans created America, from the nation’s origins to the present day” and “as a chronicle of this country through the lens of the craft, from the European settlers to the maker movement and so-called craftivists of today.”

Currently Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art, he has previously been the Director of the Museum of Arts and Design; Head Research at the V&A; and Curator at the Chipstone Foundation in Milwaukee.
