The Center for Craft is reactivating the Craft Futures Fund program for emergency relief and recovery so that we may direct essential resources to support and care for the artists and community of Western North Carolina (WNC) in the wake of Hurricane Helene. 

WNC Recovery is designed to assist regional craft artists and organizations in stabilizing and re-establishing new operating norms by investing in the critical community function of craft. This will include $5,000 or $10,000 unrestricted grants to regional craft organizations impacted by Helene.

The information session will provide an overview of the new 2024 Craft Futures Fund - WNC Recovery Grant program and offer tips to simplify the application process to complete your application.
