WEEKLY BULLETIN FEATURED SPEAKER ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2005
Michael W. Monroe
A native of Racine, Wisconsin Michael Monroe graduated with an M.F.A. degree in design from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He holds a B.S. degree in art education from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and did additional study at the School of the Art Institute and the American Academy of Art, both of Chicago. Monroe joined the staff of the Renwick, the Smithsonian's museum of contemporary American craft and design, as associate curator in 1974 and served as curator-in-charge of that institution from 1986 until 1995. In that capacity he oversaw all planning and administration of the museum's exhibitions, programs, education and operations. During his tenure, he was invited to organize a collection of American craft by President William Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton to commemorate the Year of American Craft (1993). Monroe was president of the Peter Joseph Gallery in New York City where he organized exhibitions of leading American studio furniture artists. His next assignment was to serve as the executive director of the American Craft Council, a 30,000 member national organization whose mission is to promote an understanding and appreciation of American craft. He held that position until 1998. Monroe is an independent curator, a noted lecturer, author and juror for national and international competitions, all focusing on themes and issues in contemporary American craft. Michael Monroe's career is marked by significant exhibitions, exemplary management skills and scholarship, all leading to his recognition as a national figure in the world of craft. In 1995 he was inducted into the American Craft Council's College of Fellows as an Honorary Fellow. In 1996 he received the NICHE Lifetime Achievement Award for Craft and in 2000 he was recognized by the Collectors of Wood Art with their Lifetime Achievement Award. He has authored numerous books on a wide range of craft. Rotary First Harvest Work Party This Saturday, Rotary First Harvest will be hosting a work party to support hurricane relief efforts.
