Mission Statement

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) was founded to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. HCCC offers innovative exhibitions, on-site artists-in-residence, educational programming, craft workshops and unique shopping.

Review

If you've never thought about crafting as art, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is out to change your mind. A large gallery features work from local and touring artists in a setting as serious as a fine-arts museum. The rest of the building houses the Asher Gallery – a “retail showcase,” better known as a “gift shop” -- with unusual gifts you’d actually be proud to give, studios for the artists-in-residence, and a space for workshops on techniques ranging from tattooed quilting to blacksmithing.
