Diego Central Library: CRAFTING OPPORTUNITY - Mid-Century Work from the Collection of Mingei
International Museum. The survey of ceramics, furniture, fashion, fiber art, jewelry and metalwork

World War II, including notable works by makers Ellamarie Woolley, Jack Lenor Larsen, Arline Fisch,
Martha Martinez and Charles and Ray Eames - with many objects on view for the first time.
Mingei strives to inspire audiences to realize their own innate creativity, and foster community
engagement and partnerships with community organizations. San Diego Central Library aims “to
inspire lifelong learning through connections to knowledge and each other.” The popular destination
connects its diverse community to free educational and cultural resources that enrich lives.
