Becoming a member of the Craft Council of NL opens access to a dedicated community of artists and craftspeople in our province. Members are the first to know about internal opportunities, as well as information from Craft Councils throughout the country. Members are also able to join and create their own profiles on the Citizens of Craft website, a national resource for craftspeople and craft supporters. With more than five decades of experience in supporting the craftspeople of our province, the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador is a dynamic organization that continues to evolve as the needs of craftspeople – and the world around them – change.
