Artful Hands

Artful Hands celebrates the people, skills, and traditions behind the things that give a place its character. Rooted in a belief that craftsmanship and creativity are essential parts of our cultural heritage, Artful Hands brings together artists, makers, craftspeople, preservationists, collectors, and communities to share knowledge, tell stories, and keep meaningful traditions alive.

Through exhibitions, gatherings, educational programs, and events such as Hands ON History, Artful Hands creates opportunities to experience craft and preservation not simply as things from the past, but as living practices carried forward by the hands of people working today.
