As makers, designers, craftspeople, artists, students, teachers, independent studio practitioners, gallerists, and hobbyists we are SNAG.  From many backgrounds and points of view we are collectively what makes SNAG so incredibly rich, diverse, and relevant to a field which embraces our traditions while simultaneously forging our futures.  “WE ARE SNAG: Identity” is the first in a series of juried online WE ARE SNAG member exhibitions celebrating the breadth of our field and membership.
