Piedmont Craftsmen's exhibiting members are invited/challenged to push the concept of what a box is. A box is defined a s a container typically constructed with four sides perpendicular to base and often having a lid or cover. However, Piedmont Craftsmen are anything but typical. As craftsmen you are rooted in tradition but not limited by any traditional constraints. The show is open to all media, however the piece must have been made within the last 2 years.

"Out of the Box" will be on exibit October 3 - 31, 2008 in the Gallery. Your commitment to show is needed by September 2nd. Email Nicole at exhibits@piedmontcraftsmen.org to participate or by calling 336-725-1516.

Pieces for this special show need to arrive at Piedmont Craftsmen by September 30th.
