Many groups here offer ambitious crafts programs as part of their missions.
They help artists by providing opportunities for exhibiting work, the study and teaching of techniques, collaboration, public service, and participation in public events, festivals, conferences, and so forth. At the same time their programs sustain the state's audience for the arts and help to expand it. There are over 300 nonprofit visual arts organizations on the Council's nonprofit database, including art museums, galleries and artist organizations, many of which focus on crafts.
