New Basketmakers Journal

The world wide web has changed markedly since the beginning of BasketMakers.com back in 2001. A new lexicon of web technologies has developed since that time and in hopes of staying current I have been working intently on a variety of means to keep you up to date on the news of the basketmaking community. I have taken the wraps off my new web journal and I hope you will consider subscribing. I have also been working on extensions of the main site onto YouTube, Google Calendar, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. I will welcome your feedback on these new features. Please leave your comments, subscribe or follow me. If you request friend status on Facebook or any of the other social networking sites, be sure to mention your involvement in basketry.

Tradition/Innovation:
American Masterpieces of Southern Craft and Traditional Art

This major endeavor includes a traveling gallery exhibition as well as an online presentation. The extensive online presentation features artist interviews, podcasts, visual galleries and national arts education standards based learning materials. Be prepared to stay a while if you visit the site.

The combination of contemporary craft and traditional art in this exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to explore the “threads” between two different approaches to creating artwork and also to compare the approaches of traditional and contemporary artists. The concept of mastery and what makes a "master" artist is prominently discussed.

Participating basketmakers include Clay Burnette, Herburt Jerome Dixon, Yvonne Grovner, Bessie Johnson, Mary Jane Prater, Henrietta Snype, Billie Ruth Sudduth, Leona Waddell and Carol Welch.

Tradition/Innovation will tour to one museum in each of Southern Arts Federation’s nine partner states in its first tour. Educational events at the various locations will supplement the exhibit tour: Tour dates confirmed as of January 2008 include:

January - April 2010 Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn, AL
November – December 2010 One Convention Center Plaza, Hattiesburg, MS
July - October 2010 Louisiana Art & Science Museum Baton Rouge, LA
