"Estamos vendo o início de um novo ciclo em artesanato contemporâneo, em que a urgência da idéia é de suma importância", diz Bell. "A indefinição de linhas disciplinares dentro do ofício é uma marca dos artistas do século 21 , estes 40 foram selecionados para mostrar o trabalho mais interessante de sua geração e para realçar as tendências recém-prevalentes no campo."
“We are seeing the beginning of a new cycle in contemporary craft, one in which the urgency of the idea is paramount,” said Bell. “The blurring of disciplinary lines within craft is a trademark of 21st-century artists; these 40 were selected to show the most engaging work of their generation and to highlight newly prevalent trends in the field.”

Em 2010, Bell revisou trabalhos por 2.000 artistas de todo o Estados Unidos. Selecionando galerias, mestres dos programas de artes plásticas, feiras, blogs e recomendações de colegas, ele escolheu os artistas cujo trabalho representam uma nova direção em artesanatos. Nenhum dos artistas selecionados jamais mostrou o trabalho no Smithsonian, e para a maioria, Washington, DC, é uma nova etapa.
In 2010, Bell reviewed work by 2,000 artists from across the United States. Scouring galleries, master’s of fine arts programs, fairs, blogs and colleague recommendations, he chose artists whose work represents a new direction in craft. None of the artists selected has ever shown work at the Smithsonian Institution, and for most, Washington, D.C., is a new stage.
