President's
Letter

Fall, 2024

It has been an eventful year for Houston Center for Contemporary Craft! We are proud to share our 23/24 Annual Report with you, which beautifully illustrates the achievements of our artists, our series of widely attended community events, and the hands-on activities that engage so many enthusiasts from the wonderfully diverse Houston community and beyond.

Despite the challenges brought by Hurricane Beryl, which required HCCC to close for several weeks, the Center maintained its ambitious programming schedule and continued to support those who depend on us.

Over the past year, we have:

  • Distributed over $75,000 directly to artists in commissions, residency stipends, and teaching honoraria
  • Hosted 136 educational lectures, panels, workshops, tours, Hands-on Houston events, and outreach programs
  • Served nearly 4,500 students and their families in our on- and off-site programs

 
It costs HCCC $7,000 each day to sustain this vital level of activity in the field of craft! Your contribution keeps admission free and directly supports HCCC’s nationally regarded resident artists, exhibitions, studios, workshops, and garden.

This year, we’ve set an annual fund goal of $125,000. We hope you will consider making a gift to support our programming and continued recovery efforts.

We sincerely thank you for your partnership, which is essential to ensuring contemporary craft remains accessible to all.

With gratitude,

Judy Nyquist         Leila Cartier
