the crafts center: 50 years and more

1
This year the Crafts Center is preparing to celebrate 50 years in Thompson Hall, a wonderful success story with many memories worth retelling. However, the span of years leading up to the move to Thompson Hall is the least understood chapter of Crafts Center history. Did you know we actually began operation during the early 1950s as The Craft Shop located in the Erdahl-Cloyd Student Union? And, there are solid hints the Center’s roots may even go back further to the years prior to construction of NC State’s first student union. We invite you to join us in the effort of retelling and archiving the Crafts Center’s history by sharing your personal memories and photographs on our special anniversary blog: go.ncsu.edu/crafts-center-history THE CRAFTS CENTER 5 0 years and more ncsu.edu/arts 17
