December, 2001—
The American Craft Museum, New York, NY, held its annual Visionaries! gala in October to honor outstanding artists, designers and practitioners in the field of contemporary craft. Among this year's honorees was Marvin Hopkins, president and CEO of Hunter Douglas Window Fashions, Upper Saddle River, NJ.
Under Hopkins' guidance, Hunter Douglas has demonstrated a strong understanding and appreciation of craft in the innovative window fashions it has created and has joined the American Craft Museum in sponsoring several programs such as the Designing with Light symposia (see D&WC, January 2001, page 22) and the Horizon Award for emerging craft artists.
Hopkins expressed his admiration for all of the year's Visionaries noting the artists' "creative approaches, dynamic materials and innovative technologies." A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to the New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund.
