Handwork at the Hermitage

We challenge you to create art that will enlighten the community and teach us how to ensure we are taking care of the planet. This year we have partnered with Lynnhaven River Now (LRNow) to aid us in disseminating the AWARE'26 message, 'Love Our Earth'.

Handwork at the Hermitage: A National Collaboration with Craft in America is an exhibition that highlights and celebrates the exceptional handwork that has shaped the museum’s character and history. The exhibition features historical research, rarely seen materials, furniture, and architectural elements from the museum’s collections, along with notable items such as antique hand tools used by the Hermitage’s master woodcarvers.
