Formerly the Ontario Crafts Council, Craft Ontario is a not-for-profit service organization that works to have craft recognized as a valuable part of life. We promote and celebrate professional craft through providing member opportunities, and advocate for craft practice by educating and empowering diverse audiences.
Nathan’s personal work has shifted focus from predominantly functionalist to an approach that sees him creating works purely for the joy of form exploration. Throughout this shift, Nathan has maintained his unwavering respect for finely crafted objects.
Help Craft Ontario reach our year-end $35,000 campaign target
Thanks to community support over the course of a tumultuous 2020, we have been able to navigate the impact of COVID -19, and build up Craft Ontario throughout the year with a strong committed staff, board and volunteer team. We continued to deliver on our Strategic Plan to focus our role to champion craft by supporting and promoting craft artists and their work through the strategic goals of collaboration, cultivation and connection.
We also increased our exhibition, presentation and workshop programming, offered members new opportunities through curated retail features, hosted a successful Symposium in partnership with Harbourfront, deliver our best fundraising event yet, and welcomed both new members and staff to our community.
We hope that you will join us this year with a donation as a demonstration of your belief in the impact that Craft Ontario makes as a vital connection point. Your donation will enable Craft Ontario to further grow exhibition and professional development programming; increase our ability to celebrate and discover craft through features, publications and promotion; and create opportunities to support and grow professionalism in the craft sector – to champion craft!
