Florida CraftArt

Florida CraftArt (formerly Florida Craftsmen) is a statewide non-profit organization headquartered in St. Petersburg, FL that  represents over 300 Florida fine craft artists in their retail and exhibition galleries.

Its mission is: to grow the statewide creative economy by engaging the community and advancing Florida's fine craft artists and their work.

Fine craft art is presented in the 2000 sf retail gallery as well as in the similarly sized exhibition gallery. On the second floor of its building are 18 artists’ studios and a classroom where workshops designed to educate artists in the Business of Art are held.

Florida CraftArts’s premier event is CraftArt, a 2 day outdoor fine craft festival held during the week before Thanksgiving. Central Avenue and 5th Street are closed to traffic as 110 artists offer their finest work. This event is attended annually by over 10,000 people.
