​Tennessee Craft

Tennessee Craft is the only statewide, networked organization of independent fine craft artists. From scholarships, master apprenticeships, and other professional development opportunities to signature annual exhibitions and two craft fairs, Tennessee Craft supports talent growth and creates opportunities for independent fine craft artists to thrive. Our efforts benefit our members, the arts community, and the general public. ​Each member of Tennessee Craft is assigned to a chapter to enjoy localized benefits. 

The Midstate Chapter welcomes artists from the following counties: Stewart, Montgomery, Robertson, Sumner, Trousdale, Houston, Cheatham, Humphreys, Dickson, Davidson, Wilson, Williamson, and Rutherford.  ​
