HEART & crafts was created to promote the work of Master Artisans in France and abroad through prestigious events. Our mission is:

 

  • To contribute to the prestige of France and the promotion of French artistic crafts abroad
  • To foster an inter-cultural dialogue on the common issues facing the preservation of know-hows and the future of the artistic craft sector
  • To build public awareness about these know-hows, show their high skill level, but also the human aspect, the perfect relationship between mind and artistry
  • To foster cultural exchanges between French and international artistic craftsmen and women.

 

HEART & crafts is also committed to sharing news and information relating to the artistic crafts sector, on all communication mediums.

 

With passion and conviction, HEART & crafts strives to create social bonds by placing emotion at the heart of the human and artistic experience, by instilling meaning into cultural practices – specifically in artistic crafts. Above all, we value creative integrity, commitment to teaching, learning and appreciation for art and artists.
