Patrons like you make it possible for Craft Ontario to deliver important services and opportunities for craft artists. In helping these makers to grow, we elevate craft as an important cultural asset together.

As a Patron, you will help craft artists become connected in a community of creators and supporters. This community fabric is a valuable resource that further strengthens individual craft artist careers. Patrons make it possible for us to be leaders in the Craft sector and lift up this incredible community.
