ABOUT OHIO DESIGNER CRAFTSMEN Founded in 1963, Ohio Designer Craftsmen is a not-for-profit organization with over 2100 members. Our membership includes craft artists, educators, students, and others who appreciate fine craft. Our mission is to promote the fine crafts aesthetic by establishing a standard of excellence, encouraging creative growth, providing professional support to craft artists, and building public awareness, appreciation and collection of fine craft. In support of this mission, Ohio Designer Craftsmen offers a wide range of exhibitions, publications, programs and artist services. Exhibitions are presented at the Ohio Craft Museum, founded by Ohio Designer Craftsmen in 1993. Located in Columbus, it is the only museum in the Midwest exclusively devoted to exhibiting and collecting fine craft. Five or six exhibitions of contemporary craft by artists from Ohio and across the United States are presented each year. Public programs include artist lectures, hands-on workshops for children and adults, and a summer craft day camp for children ages 6 - 12.
Ohio Designer Craftsmen also provides assistance to ODC's member
artists.
