Patrons

Thanks to the support of our Patrons, for over forty years Craft Ontario has continued to deliver essential programs and services that demonstrate our commitment to growing a vital cultural and economic infrastructure in Ontario and across Canada.

Our Patrons play a vital role in supporting the current and future work of Craft Ontario. Each contribution helps fund a wide variety of core activities, including our exhibitions schedule and the business support and professional development services that we offer our members on a daily basis. Today, more than ever, we need your support to continue to grow craft in Ontario. If you believe, as we do, in the importance of craft and the value of a strong craft community, please consider becoming a Patron today.
