The making of the “Material Curiosity by Design” museum exhibition behind the scenes! Over the past year, the wonderful @craftcontemporary team, curator Danielle Charlap, and exhibition designer @garywexlerdesign have put in countless hours. Each piece has to be handled with care and decisions made about how best to display it. Apprentices from the DAP (Diversity Apprenticeship Program) @thebroadmuseum are hand stitching mounts for the textiles—each time the color of the woven yarn changes, the thread color is changed to match. The DAP is a paid, nine month hands on program focused on art handling and preparation. Stay tuned for more #behindthescenes! #craftcontemporary #craft #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #materialcuriositybydesign #design #textile #thebroad #midcenturymodern #jerryackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #vinceskelly #joliengo #porfiriogutierrez #modernism

Congratulations to Rebecca Zhang, the Fall 2025 Congratulations to Rebecca Zhang, the Fall 2025 recipient of the Jerome Ackerman Endowed Internship @alfredceramicartmuseum! Hailing from NYC, Rebecca is a senior pursuing her BFA in Ceramics and Graphic Design. This paid internship at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum provides the opportunity for a hands on experience with museum professional practices where she is excited to learn about the behind-the-scenes work of how collections are organized. Resonating to the tactile nature of ceramics, Rebecca feels that “the sensory experience of holding and handling a pot is essential to ‘seeing’ it.” Her tea ware pieces reflect her interest in harmony, mindfulness, Taoism, the human experience, and community. Rebecca has been an instructor at several ceramics studios in Brooklyn and enjoyed a month-long residency in Jingdezhen, China, where she plans to return to further explore its extensive ceramic history. We are thrilled to honor Jerome Ackerman’s design legacy and Distinguished Alumni status in this way. @alfreduniversity #alfredceramics @rebbsart @suny #alfredceramicartmuseum #craft #alfreduniversity #ceramics #scholarship #jeromeackerman #ackermanfriday #evelynandjeromeackerman #evelynackerman #jerryackerman #artsatalfred #museum #midcenturymodern #mcm #womenartists @chopletceramicstudio #chopletceramicstudio
