Curated by Assistant Curator Pam Campanaro this pop-up focuses on the intersection between contemporary art and sports. New Craft Artists in Action (NCAA) is a craftivist project that addresses public space, diversity, collaboration, feminism, and interdisciplinary learning. For Pop-up, NCAA will turn the gallery interior into an track and field facility; equipped with faux blacktop and astroturf. During weeklong public events, audience members will be participatory “athletes”, invited to knit and crochet to build proactive, inclusive relationships between artists, athletes and neighbors. Participating NCAA Members: Maria Molteni, Team Captain (Boston, MA), Andrea Sherrill Evans, Knitting Guru and Instructor (Boston, MA) and Taylor McVay, Crochet Historian and Instructor (Boston, MA).
