WISCONSIN CRAFT

Wisconsin Craft Develops and promotes Craft and the Maker to enhance the cultural life of Wisconsin communities and beyond.

The goal of the newly incorporated Wisconsin Craft (WI Craft) is to build a statewide networking organization that enhances the cultural life of Wisconsin and surrounding regions by encouraging, developing, and supporting traditional and contemporary craft and craft makers.

We are excited for this next phase in our Wisconsin history and would love to have you involved in forming this new organization. We have a proud 100 year old tradition which has evolved from the original Wisconsin Society of Applied Arts 1916-1936 to Wisconsin Designer Craftsman 1937-1981 to Wisconsin Designer Crafts Council 1982-2021. Now we begin the next phase with Wisconsin Craft!

Wisconsin Craft members enjoy a wide variety of activities designed to provide educational information about the craft field for artists and the general community. All members are welcome to get involved on a committee to shape the organization as it grows. You can help create and plan new events that build and connects our communities to Craft around Wisconsin.

Current events include: Morning Glory Art Fair, Biennial Members Exhibition, Themed Exhibitions, MKE Studio Tour, Educational Programming and Business of Art Programming.
