Support the center
Now more than ever, craft needs you. Join us—become a builder of the future of craft.
You can show your support for craft and the creative community by naming principal spaces in the Center’s newly renovated historic building in downtown Asheville.
Show your support for craft for generations to come by naming a tile on our building. The named tile wall complements Liminal, a work of art by Ian Henderson, installed on the front of our new National Craft Innovation Hub.
Annual Fund contributions of any size provide vital support where it’s needed most. From giving emerging craft leaders critical resources to offering innovative programming and exhibitions, your gift will strengthen the field of craft today.
The Center for Craft is working in collaboration with members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to create a public art parklet to preserve and advance the important craft legacy of western North Carolina.
Align your brand with the Center for Craft through exhibition, program, reception, and event sponsorship! With a growing regional and national audience, we provide a range of opportunities and benefits to best suit your company.
Craft your legacy and increase your giving potential both now and in the future through planned giving. Please consult your personal legal, tax, and/or financial advisor to see if this might be the right option for you.
