Support the center
Help us increase access to craft by empowering and resourcing artists, educators, and communities.
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.
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.
With just $30 a year, or $2.50 a month, you can join a network of support across the United States.

“In 2012, I was the recipient of a Windgate-Lamar Fellowship…which allowed me to build my studio. I don’t think I’d be able to do the work I do today without the generous support of the Center for Craft and the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship.”
Brian Fleetwood, 2012 Windgate-Lamar Fellow
[I am a] step closer to finishing my book project that started many years ago when the Center for Craft supported my dissertation. I’m very grateful for all the mentorship and support that I've received from the community. The Center's support is meaningful to me and I appreciate it. Thank you!

“The support of makers through the Craft Research Fund Artist Fellowship is forward-thinking at a crucial time when the ideology of craft has the ability to promote sustainability and the building of community.”
BA Harrington, 2020 Craft Research Fund Artist Fellow
"This is the perfect opportunity for me to continue having a ceramics practice after undergrad and will let me travel to the country of my roots (Dominican Republic) to learn more about my family, history, culture, and self."
Sydnie Jimenez, 2020 Windgate-Lamar Fellow
We envision a culture where communities celebrate and embrace the centrality of craft in everyday life.
