    Basketshop is dedicated to maintaining a foothold in the bread basket of our country. In the politically divided state of affairs we have found ourselves in, our response is to invoke the practice of weaving as a model for harmonious interactions between artists’ identities and the conventional challenges present in localized cultures. We are focused on bringing communities together in order to create a vessel that is constructed and defined by disparate points of view. Basketry is among the first forms of craft that served humanity as both art and function. The goal of our program is to externalize the structures of artistic process so that it can be accessible to a wider audience.
