CELEBRATING FINE CRAFT FOR OVER 50 YEARS

OUR MISSION
Our purpose is to preserve and promote handcrafted arts and craftspeople in northern New England so they continue to be a visible, vital and cherished part of our cultural heritage. By providing both an educational and a retail environment, we expand public awareness and understanding of craft traditions and innovations, and increase public and private support for fine crafts and craftspeople.
