Our Mission

Mission Statement Logo

The Craft Marketing Program's purpose is to develop the state's craft industry; support and empower Kentucky artisans and Craftspeople; create an economically viable environment for craft entrepreneurs, preserve the state's craft traditions, stimulate and support product development; and generate public awareness, public support, and public/private partnerships.

The Kentucky Craft Marketing is a program of the Kentucky Arts Council in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. Since its inception in 1982, the Program has been heralded for its pioneering efforts in marketing the state's crafts and is one of the few states in the country that supports its craft industry in this way. Activities and goals for the Program are set forth by a planning process of the Kentucky Arts Council, where citizens of the Commonwealth may provide input at public forums

The Program provides assistance to Kentucky residents, individuals, or groups wanting to develop as craft professionals through economic opportunities and training, to other outside entities (i.e., craft retailers, craft and art organizations, community and government agencies), and the general public.
