The Museum of Contemporary Craft based in Portland, Oregon is the oldest continuously-running craft institution on the west coast of the United States. Located in downtown Portland’s Pearl District, the museum's mission is "to enliven and expand the understanding of craft and the museum experience." == History == Lydia Herrick Hodge founded the Museum in 1937 with the support of a group of dedicated women volunteers, and using donated materials from the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Originally called the Oregon Ceramic Studio, the studio building first opened in 1938. Lydia Herrick Hodge led the OCC as the studio director from 1937 until her death in 1960. Ken Shores became the first paid director in 1964, changing the name in 1965 from The Oregon Ceramic Studio to Contemporary Crafts Gallery to better reflect the breadth of work shown at the institution. The institution became known as ''Contemporary Crafts Museum & Gallery'' in 2002, and ''Museum of Contemporary Craft'' in 2007. Today the organization is a museum and a resource for the community. It houses a growing collection, of over 1200 objects that document the active role of both the Museum and the Pacific Northwest in the evolution of craft over the past seven decades.
