For New York City-based craft artists/metalsmiths:
NYFA has recently developed NEW YORK CREATES, a city initiative to
assist craft and folk artists. They would like to hear from you via
their first survey at: http://www.nyfa.org/newyorkcreates
Please complete it by May 7th. It is open to all NYC craft artists
of media so please inform/pass this thread along to any NYC craft
artists who work in clay, fiber, metal, glass, paper, wood, etc.
The results of the survey will direct the next steps of New York
Creates. So far suggested plans have been to assist artisans with a
comprehensive marketing initiative, the creation of a guide to NYC
crafts artists, job training programs, or access to prodcution and
retail facilities.
