This year's juried alumni biennial, on view in The Galleries June 13 – August 29, 2026, is presented as part of Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a nationwide initiative organized by Craft in America in honor of the United States Semiquincentennial.
Featuring work by Moore alumni across generations and disciplines, this exhibition celebrates the enduring importance of the handmade. From traditional techniques passed down through generations to contemporary interpretations that push material and conceptual boundaries, the works on view reflect the creativity, skill and care that define craft today.
For this exhibition, craft is defined broadly, encompassing works in clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood and other materials. The works on view range from functional to nonfunctional, and include decorative, wearable, sculptural, conceptual, traditional and nontraditional approaches.
The exhibition is juried by Leila Cartier ’04, Executive Director of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, whose expertise brings a thoughtful and dynamic selection of alumni artists to The Galleries.
