Canadian Crafts Federation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Crafts Federation (Fédération canadienne des métiers d'art) is the only national arts service organization representing provincial and territorial craft councils and the Canadian crafts sector.

The mandate of the CCF/FCMA is to advance and promote the vitality and excellence of Canadian fine craft, both nationally and internationally, to the benefit of Canadian craftspeople and the community at large. The CCF/FCMA is often a catalyst for projects managed by members in the provincial and territorial craft councils, operating as the initiator, facilitator and promoter of local, national and international events representing Canadian craftspeople and fine craft.

Major projects by the CCF/FCMA include large scale market studies (such as the Canadian Fine Craft Niche Market Study and the Profile and Development Strategy for Craft in Canada) as well as national and international collaborative projects (such as the Craft Year 2007 festival).
