What happened
Continuation. The archived record's "Gary S. Griffin 1984 to present" is outdated — Griffin led Metalsmithing through 2006, when Iris Eichenberg took over as Artist-in-Residence/Head. She remains in that role through 2024-2025 with no closure, merger, or rename. The MFA-in-Metalsmithing structure within Cranbrook Academy of Art is unchanged since ~2014.
