Whether you attend Tradition/Innovation
in person during its nine-state
tour, or will experience it through this website,
you’ll want to explore the sounds
and sights of the masterworks and the artists who created
them. Some visitors to the Atlanta History Center left
their comments on the show. The Photo
Gallery lets you view work by each artist
and link to their individual Artist Pages.
Scan
the Gallery to find images you’re particularly
interested in – or take your time and browse
each artist’s work!
Tradition/Innovation features
three-dimensional works of contemporary craft and traditional
art. The 360°
Gallery lets you experience the full impact of four
of these remarkable pieces, presented in a 360-degree
animation.
Virtual Galleries
let you “tour” the exhibit either through
the four sections—Cultural Practice, Relationship
to Place, Innovation and Evolution, and Connections—of
the physical exhibit, or to view the artwork by medium.
The Audio
Tour lets you hear an overview of the exhibit,
featuring several artists telling their own story
of their creative
process, artistic and family history and relationship
to their work.
21 of the exhibit’s artists
provided Audio
Interviews. These unedited conversations between
the artist and a professional folklorist or researcher
are a unique window into their lives, process and community.
Written
interviews from 36 of the artists also provide
insight into how they approach their work, connect
with
others, and have been influenced.
Visitors Guide – download
a PDF of this four-color Guide. Featuring
10 of the exhibit’s artists, the Visitors’ Guide
lets you explore and experience more deeply
10 of the artworks, and learn about the artists
who
created them. It moves you through
the
four sections of the exhibit so you can see a range
of artwork in different media and styles.
