Over 315 attendees from cities throughout the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, and England joined us in Minneapolis for Creating a New Craft Culture: The 2009 American Craft Council Conference.

Our conference attendees represented a range of professions including architects, designers, collectors, educators, writers, museum professionals, students, makers, and retailers. The enthusiasm and thoughtfulness that defined the sessions and conversations served as a rousing affirmation of the vitality of craft on professional and creative levels. If the dialogue that took place during our two day conference is any indication, our collective present and future is in very good hands.

We’re gathering reports on each conference session, audio podcasts, photos and original blog contributions to help keep the conversation going. Check out our new Presentations section for podcasts and more!
