Making her curatorial debut, Craft’s guest curator Simone Haag presents a group exhibition featuring highly collectable and sought-after works by 36 Australian artists, makers and designers. Works by leading established names will be exhibited alongside the rising generation of creative innovators. This exhibition marks the first in Craft’s new series, Visionaries – an exciting showcase of what the future of Australian art, craft and design looks like through the lens of the country’s most influential creatives.

Fables & Folklore delves into the narratives imbued in objects and artworks, celebrating the age-old fascination humans hold with storytelling and lore, and its ability to hold our attention captive. Haag presents a selection of hand-picked unique works from some of the most respected Australian artists and craft practitioners working today, as well as many new faces who are exhibiting at Craft for the first time.
