The Society of Arts & Crafts was organized in 1967 and still is a non-profit organization dedicated
to the cultural development of arts and crafts. It was organized to encourage students and amateurs
to further their creative talents as well as provide an outlet to sell their projects.

With almost anything as time passes things change and hopefully for the positive. We wanted you
