Meet the Curator
This year, renowned designer and creative director Ken Fulk joins Visions of America as guest curator, bringing his unique vision to the event. Known for his transportive creations and signature “magic-making,” Fulk has selected 18 superlative works that highlight the cultural and artistic legacy of America, weaving a dynamic narrative that spans more than 400 years of craftsmanship.
“My work has always been about creating experiences that transport people—whether through a space, a moment, or a story. The pieces I’ve chosen for Visions of America reflect that same sensibility: objects that spark emotion, tell a story, and evoke the rich tapestry of American craftsmanship. I’m drawn to works that feel timeless yet uniquely resonate with the way we live today, weaving beauty and meaning into our everyday lives.”
