Overview
Mission
The Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild is a professional organization that supports fine craft artists through a rigorous jury process and an annual market, celebrating mastery of technique and originality of design.
What it reported doing in 2019
The annual carolina artisan craft market provides an opportunity for professional artisans to exhibit and sell their works of fine craft to collectors and enthusiasts. The market also serves to elevate fine craft as an art form by informing public perception of what constitutes art, educating the public about mediums and techniques used to create these artistic works, and highlighting the value of craftsmanship in our culture.
