About the organization
The James Renwick Alliance for Craft (JRA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1982 as a support group for the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Named after the gallery's original benefactor, the JRA is dedicated to advancing the understanding and appreciation of American craft. Its mission encompasses educational programs, artist talks, and awards that recognize excellence in the field. The JRA fosters a community of collectors, artists, and enthusiasts, providing a platform for dialogue and scholarship around contemporary craft.
