As with most art venues, this space is anticipating the RNC convention and doing their best to accommodate the influx. Craftsman House (CH) is dealing with all this in  a light-hearted manner in the best tradition of American politics, and using the metaphor of collaboration across media in art to perhaps suggest the possibility of the same in politics.On either side are examples of funny coffee beverages CH has come up with for the Convention.

C. Parker and Carrie Jadus, "The Dinner Party"

On the left is part of a dinner service, with the plates made by Charlie Parker and painted by Carrie Jadus. Very politically balanced, and correct as to red state/blue state.

These sculptures of the Presidential opponents in this campaign were made by Jeremiah Jacobs (clay) and Josh Poll and Dave Walker of Zen Glass.
