The Society of Arts and Crafts
Established in 1897, The Society of Arts and Crafts (SAC) is the oldest non-profit craft organization in the U.S.. We support the creation and advancement of contemporary craft. Our exhibition, education and award programs promote emerging through established artists from across the country.

SAC’s Newbury Street location includes a street-level retail craft store and a second floor exhibition gallery with four curated shows per year. We also present CRAFTBOSTON, an exhibition and sale of contemporary art, craft and design at the Seaport World Trade Center and CRAFTBOSTON Holiday at the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama. [ ]

Mission Statement
The mission of SAC is to support excellence in craft by encouraging the creation, collection and promotion of the work of contemporary craft artists. SAC strives to educate and advance public appreciation of fine craftsmanship in clay, glass, fiber, metal, mixed media, and wood.
