Tradition/Innovation is currently on tour to nine states in the Southeast, on exhibit in Atlanta from March through May 2008 and running through 2010. The exhibit tours with an audio guide, featuring many of the artists in the exhibit in their own words and voices. To plan your in-person visit, see the tour schedule.

If you can’t attend the exhibit in person, we invite you to experience Tradition/Innovation virtually. Although not the same as viewing these works personally, our virtual galleries, materials and audio guide allow you to engage with these remarkable artists and their work at any time.

Virtual Galleries – “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.

Audio Tour – 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.

Photo Gallery – Images of the artwork in Tradition/Innovation link to Meet the Artist Pages, giving you background on the artist and links to learn more.

360° Gallery – Tradition/Innovation features three-dimensional works of contemporary craft and traditional art. Experience the full impact of four of these remarkable pieces, presented in a 360-degree “movie.”

Visitors Guide – Download a PDF of this four-color Guide. Featuring 10 of the exhibit’s artists, the Visitors Guide is a way for you to explore and experience more deeply 10 of the artworks, and learn about the artists who created them. It is designed to move you through the four sections of the exhibit so you can see a range of artwork in different media and styles.

Each host museum will offer programs for students and educators. In addition, this exhibit website offers a rich array of learning activities and teaching materials that you can use in conjunction with your group’s visit or, if you cannot attend, can be used to supplement your existing curriculum, or used in conjunction with “virtual” visits to the exhibit online.
