We work to continue and create Tennessee’s fine craft tradition by
connecting emerging and experienced makers and the public
with resources and opportunities to make their mark
on our state’s handmade legacy.
Our Core Philosophy
Tennessee Craft is a network of craft artists and the craft art communities dedicated to uplifting the past and present of handmade craft, and securing the future of craft to be equitable and vibrantly diverse for all. We envision a Tennessee where all craft artists have access, opportunity, and tools to share and amplify their stories, cultures, and experiences. We at Tennessee Craft see the role of craft art in modern society beyond the bounds of marketplace metrics and debates of fine art “worthiness.” We see craft art as the long historical practice of making and honing the creation of handmade goods, foundational to the creative expression of every culture and community.
