exceptional emerging talent in the contemporary craft field and provides
opportunities for early career artists to bring their artwork to the
consumer market. Established in 2007 in honor of SCC Director of

winner and six finalists. The winner

work featured and sold in 2-month intervals throughout 2017. 

LEAP is open to exceptionally talented artists who are in the early
stages of their careers. “Emerging” artists may have had some

but not yet have established reputations. Artists must work in craft
media and are asked to submit 6 images, a resume, a statement, support
materials, and a $25 application fee to SCC by September 30, 2016.
