Touchstone Center for Crafts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance excellence in the arts and crafts by educating and encouraging individuals to develop technical skills, good design, and innovative expression.
Touchstone Center for Crafts condemns all acts of racism, discrimination, and senseless violence. We firmly believe that everyone has a right to dignity, respect, and equality without fear. As an organization, we commit to listen and learn and to grow. We will continue to work to empower people to use art as a means of expression, a way to build community, and a powerful voice for change.
We respectfully acknowledge that we gather on the traditional territory of diverse Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land for centuries. We recognize the complexities of their histories and ongoing presence and are committed to honoring their cultures, addressing the impacts of colonization, and supporting their self-determination, revitalization, and healing.
