2023 Craft ACT Corporate Catalogue

Canberra has always been a dynamic design laboratory and place of
creative enterprise which is embodied in First Nations culture, the Griffins’
visionary design for the city, Canberra’s iconic modernist architecture;
and its thriving contemporary sustainable design, craft and art industries.
At 51 years old Craft ACT: Craft + Design Centre is one of the longest
continuously running visual arts membership organisations in Australia
supporting artists, craft practitioners, designers and makers at every
stage of their careers. We celebrate the extraordinary talent of
Canberra’s creatives and continue to work to secure the vitality and
practice of the craftspeople, designers and audiences who form our
vibrant community – locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Purchasing from Craft ACT will sustain Australia’s high-quality studio
practice, grow the design craft sector and ensure the practice of
craftspeople and designers exists into the future. Shopping locally and
handmade has a low carbon footprint and contributes to environmental
sustainability.
Please help to support our artists by purchasing original, local and
handmade work of outstanding craftsmanship for your corporate gift
program. At a time when people yearn for the unique, the slow, the
handmade, the enduring, your purchase can help support a creative
community and help to create much needed change in our world.
Each gift will be hand wrapped and hand delivered to you or your client,
with information about the featured artist and Canberra’s thriving
contemporary craft and design community.
Thank you so much for your support.
