There are several avenues by which to support Craft Ontario. Take a moment to find a means that suits your needs.

Why support Craft Ontario?

Because you can help us do what we do best:

• Promote the work of Ontario craftspeople through our Gallery and retail venue, Craft Ontario Shop, which has been in operation since 1932. With 30,000 people walking through our doors every year, we have been instrumental to the economic success of hundreds of makers of craft.
• Provide a retail marketplace for the highest quality of craft in Ontario.
• Serve more than 1,300 Ontario makers and supporters, and deliver programs and services to keep the craft community thriving.
• Represent fine Inuit and Native artists in Toronto. We have Ontario’s longest track record in promoting these artists and knowledgeable staff who advocate on their behalf.
• Acknowledge excellence through our $25,000 annual Craft Awards program that recognizes makers, curators, writers, and administrators who contribute to the making of fine craft.
• Provide a national forum for dialogue about craft to 17,500 subscribers of Studio Craft and Design magazine

In short, we are passionate about building a strong and vibrant craft community in Ontario and ensuring that craft plays a vital role in our contemporary culture.

Please consider making a charitable gift to Craft Ontario today.

In recognition of your gift, you will be included on our online Donor Wall and any donations over $10 will receive a tax receipt for maximum allowable amount as defined by the Canada Revenue Agency; usually 100%.
