Today is the American Craft Council's 82nd birthday! To mark the occasion, enjoy some images from the archives of ACC founder Aileen Osborn Webb's birthday celebrations over the years, as well as a look at "Celebration 20," a 1976 exhibit at the American Craft Council's Museum of Contemporary Craft commemorating the 20 years of the museum. As part of the festivities, the museum held a "Celebration Cake Exhibition," featuring both edible and fantasy cakes. Cheers to championing craft for many years to come! (fb)
