Editors’ Note: We have received notices that many galleries and museums have closed to the public temporarily. Some will allow artists to work in their hot shops, but the public will not be allowed to enter.  Our advice is to call the gallery or museum. This situation is evolving too fast for websites to have the latest news. Deadlines for applications and shows may be extended. It is best to be patient and to call the gallery or museum for information.

Although the technology is integral to each of their processes, the human hand is what brings the work to life. Curated by John Sharvin.
