Supporting Our Craft Community
About our mission...
The Chicago Center for Craft's mission is to amplify local and regional artists in the Chicago area through initiatives that connect and expand our community's knowledge of artists working in glass, fiber (book arts, paper, basketry, textiles), ceramic, metal, and wood. Initiatives include organized studio tours, professional development such as networking opportunities, curated exhibitions, curated pop-up markets, symposia, research, and eventually residency opportunities.
Located at 2003 W. Fulton, #408, our gallery & studio features curated exhibitions, workshops, and events. Interested in leading a workshop? Are you looking for a corporate team-building activity or other craft-centered event? Are you looking for instructors to partner with schools or school groups? Reach out and tell us what you have in mind, as we love to collaborate! Email us at chicagocenterforcraft(at)gmail.com.
We want to hear from you! Share your work with us & consider becoming a craft representative!
