a common purpose - a singular voice
The Craft Council of the NWT is an independent arts organization started in early 2020 to foster the continued development of the contemporary craft sector in the NWT and the professional development of the artisans and creators involved. All of the Council’s activities are targeted to support member’s practice and increase the audience for contemporary NWT craft across the territory..
Our mandate is simple - to develop, promote and advocate for fine craft in the NWT and beyond.
We cooperate and collaborate with other arts organizations to achieve this mandate.
