(MA) Boston’s Society of Arts + Crafts

(MA) Boston’s Society of Arts + Crafts (SA+C) recently announced that artist Aspen Golann was awarded the 2020 John D. Mineck Furniture Fellowship and its $25,000 unrestricted award. The award is funded by the John D. Mineck Foundation, which honors the late Boston-area businessman who developed an appreciation for fine furniture and early-career artists who make it. Born and educated in Massachusetts, Golann’s work honors traditional furniture techniques, with twists that nod to social justice issues past and present. Golann currently works at the Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, and plans to use her award to further her training, teach furniture-making in underrepresented communities, and develop tool-sharing programs for under-funded artists.
