American Craft Council Year in Review 2023

2O23 Year in Review

Dear friends, The American Craft Council celebrated 80 years of advancing craft and its makers in May — a fitting context for reflecting on our organization’s purpose today.

The world is profoundly different from how it was five years ago, to say nothing of eight decades prior. In the early 1940s, the work that would later evolve into ACC’s programming focused on fostering the livelihoods of rural New York craftspeople by connecting them with an urban market for their work. With a nod to those origins, this year our board of trustees unanimously adopted a restated mission and three core strategies — the Strategic Framework at right.

This Year in Review is notable for ACC because we adopted this Framework while continuing to serve craft artists and enthusiasts in ways they value. We are pleased to share what we accomplished in our Fiscal Year 2023* with your support and participation.

“ACC has truly helped me build community and friendships with other makers that have opened my heart and world.”

— Etiti Ayeni, Artist

Artists have told us how much they value the ways we connect them to craft enthusiasts and one another.

Our in-person marketplaces in Baltimore and St. Paul together featured 497 artists, and our Online Artists Directory expanded to feature 251 artists. As evidenced by the joy we could see and feel at our flagship Baltimore show, our vibrant community of craft 2*October 2023 year in review 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023

appreciators was equally grateful for the opportunity to gather and revel in their shared love of craft and its makers.

To help artists develop their business acumen and create a supportive peer community, we developed Craft Lab — a series of online workshops free to member artists, led by experts in topics ranging from photographing objects to financing tools and marketing strategies for small, craftcentered businesses. Our intensive Emerging Artists Cohort program, which includes professional development, one-on-one coaching, and $10,000 grants to artists at the end of their first year, grew to serve a total of 34 artists.

Once again, American Craft was honored at the prestigious Folio Awards in New York. This year we won an Eddie for editorial and an Ozzie for design, placing our work among the best magazines in the publishing industry. And our quarterly American Craft Forums drew 750 attendees eager to hear from presenters ranging from birchbark canoe builder Jim Jones, an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, to third-generation violin maker Eric Benning.

Our choice to spotlight the exquisite craftsmanship and connections to culture and community, present in Jones’s and Benning’s work, reflects one of the most important ideas underpinning our new Strategic Framework: a commitment to support artists and makers on the diverse paths they follow as they build craft-centered

livelihoods. This means we will continue to welcome those who know about and enthusiastically join our community while also seeking out artists and makers who have been underrepresented in our programs. This includes BIPOC artists, artists whose work is sometimes described as traditional or heritage craft, and artists who derive their livelihoods from social impact work, exemplified by ACC trustee Pearl Dick of Project Fire. As we look to the future, we challenge ourselves to recognize and serve a broader range of craft and craft artists. Our work in this area will be ongoing, and we have much to learn.

Thank you to the current and prospective members and donors reading this report — for embracing and investing in our vision and making our continued evolution possible.

With great appreciation,

Andrea Specht, Executive Director

Gary J. Smith, Chair, Board of Trustees
