Craft Victoria

Craft Victoria supports creativity, experimentation and professionalism in contemporary craft and design. The organisation enhances awareness of Australian craft and design at state, national and international levels. We present craft and design to a wide range of audiences and promote craft values through exhibitions, our retail space COUNTER and public programs.

Craft Victoria's history
The Crafts Council of Victoria was established in 1970 and grew out of a world wide interest in the crafts. In Australia it was a mixture of the counter culture and high art, as espoused by teachers, environmentalists and a wide range of people.

Over the past 40 years it has shifted from an East meets West scenario to a focus on the individual in society. The Crafts Council of Victoria was one of the founding tenants of the Meat Market Craft Centre, then went out on its own to Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, and is now part of the Flinders Lane craft and design scene.
