Fellowship: 75 Years of Taliesin Box Projects
Since its inception in 1932, the Taliesin Fellowship has become home, school, and a way of life for hundreds of aspiring architects and designers. Twice annually, the Taliesin apprentices presented “box projects” as gifts to their patrons – a collection of sketches, drawings, works of art, music, and handicrafts packaged into a handmade container, which over time became incorporated into the school’s archives. This exhibition will celebrate the creative energy and spirit of the Taliesin Fellowship and illustrate one aspect of an architect’s apprenticeship under Wright, and later his wife, and the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Supported by a grant from the "Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts."
