MISSION
STATEMENT
The Artisans Center of Virginia supports and promotes the culture of Virginia artisans through education, entrepreneurship, research, galleries and exhibitions.
The Center believes that quality, handmade craft strengthens the cultural, educational and economic vitality of local communities.
The culture
of craft
The culture of craft is as much a mindset held by Artisans and appreciative audiences as it is a way of living. It is the natural order, firmly woven into the everyday fabric of life, shunning faceless mass production and embracing the familiar relationship between the craftsperson, the user, and fine handmade craft. Once immersed in the culture, whether producing the fine craft or enjoying the use and aesthetic of a piece, an intimate lifelong relationship of value and appreciation emerges strong and true. The culture of craft links the past, present & future, reconciles “meaning” with “making”, and bridges all parts of society…. Create Craft, Create Community! |
