WE ARE SNAG: Identity

SNAG is excited to present WE ARE SNAG: Identity, an online exhibition. This is the first in a series of juried exhibitions featuring SNAG members and celebrating the breadth and diversity of their field. The exhibition was juried by Tim McCreight, C. James Meyer, and Stacey Lee Webber.

 

The expansive community of SNAG encompasses everyone from makers, designers, craftspeople, writers, artists, students, teachers, hobbyists, and more. Such a collection of rich backgrounds create a community excited to engage in thoughtful conversation and critical discussion. This is why SNAG has been so successful at preserving tradition while simultaneously forging forward and embracing innovation. It isn't hard to see why SNAG continues to spark captivating discussions and cultivate innovative new ideas!

 

WE ARE SNAG: Identity celebrates the talented members of SNAG. It gives a glimpse into the collection of stunning, colorful, and unique works they work so hard to create.
