Our Mission Fuller Craft Museum offers expansive opportunities to discover the world of contemporary craft. By exploring the leading edge of craft through exhibitions, collections, education, and public programs, we challenge perceptions and build appreciation of the material world. Our purpose is to inspire, stimulate, and enrich an ever expanding community. Our Vision Fuller Craft Museum aspires to be the nexus of contemporary craft. Embodied by creative aesthetic, concept expression, and cultural meaning, we will serve as a public resource to chronicle, interpret, and present craft in its many forms. We will support, redefine, and influence the field through exploration, education, and thought leadership. Our goal is to expand awareness, insight, and accessibility for our growing audiences. A Brief History Fuller Craft Museum was made possible by Myron Fuller, who in August 1946, set up a trust fund for an art center to be educational in nature. A native of Brockton, Fuller was a geologist and a hydrologist. During his career, he amassed a small fortune. From his accumulated wealth, Fuller set aside the sum of one million dollars, to establish the art museum and cultural center in memory of his family. In 1969, the Museum was built and first opened its doors as the new Brockton Art Center Fuller Memorial. The Museum eventually changed its name to The Fuller Art Museum and began collecting artwork in every medium. In 2004, the Museum changed again to Fuller Craft Museum to focus solely on collecting contemporary craft. Makers who work primarily with their hands in materials that are tactile and familiar (wood, metal, glass, ceramics, and fiber) have stretched the boundaries of functional everyday craft objects into the conceptual, the personal, the virtuosic, and wildly imaginative studio craft scene.
