About Craftnow Philadelphia

CraftNOW Philadelphia unites the leading institutions, artists, patrons, and community to celebrate the city’s rich legacy, its international contemporary scene, and its important role as an incubator for arts based in wood, clay, fiber, metal, and glass. Together with partners, we invite residents and visitors alike to explore Philadelphia’s innovations in the world of the handmade through an itinerary of hands-on activities, academic programming, events and tours, and directories of local galleries, studios, and makers. Other programs unite creative businesses with support services, increase the economic impact of the artisanal sector, and advocate for policies that encourage investment in the field. CraftNOW’s youth education initiatives serve neighborhoods citywide.
