The Museum of The American Arts & Crafts Movement (MAACM) is embarking on a bold vision to bring the most important collection of American Arts and Crafts decorative and fine arts to a broader public. We hope to grow support for the Arts & Crafts Movement by educating new audiences who may have a limited understanding of this important and colorful period in our history.
The American Arts and Crafts Movement had a profound impact on the world of art, design, and architecture. It brought us not only beautifully hand crafted works but also connected us to the joy of making, our relationship to nature, and how we live our daily lives. It was an important moment in our cultural history, one that still resonates strongly today.
This illustrated essay describes where the movement started, its philosophy, how it migrated to the United States, and how designers, artisans and craftsmen, and the love of Nature came together to produce the beautiful and rare objects found in the collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation. We hope you will read this brief essay and that you will share it with friends, relatives, and your social media groups.
Things are coming together and rising high at 355 4th Street North in St. Petersburg, Florida, the future home of the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. The five-story, 137,000 square-foot building will feature beautiful architectural elements such as a grand atrium, skylights, and a dramatic spiral staircase, all adorned with period art, light fixtures, stained glass windows, fireplaces, and more.
