Empowering the Community Through Craft
At Craft Alliance, we believe in the power of craft to bring people together, inspire creativity, and foster a sense of belonging. Our community programs are designed to make contemporary craft accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background, or experience. Through these initiatives, we aim to promote cultural enrichment, provide opportunities for skill development, and strengthen the bonds within our diverse community.
We are committed to partnering with local schools and organizations to bring hands-on craft experiences to children, teens, and adults in our community. Our dedicated artists work closely with students to create art, foster personal growth, and engage the broader community.
Free Family Saturdays
The first Saturday of each month, children ages five and up and their caregivers are invited to a free morning of crafting.
Creative Play & Storytime
Children and their caregivers are invited to immerse themselves in a free guided gallery tour filled with interactive stories. Then, experience hands-on crafting based on the exhibition.
Third Friday at Craft Alliance
Join us and the other organizations of the Delmar Maker District on the Third Friday of each month for free craft activities, demonstrations, and refreshments.
School Residencies
We collaborate with local schools to offer programs that complement the curriculum, enrich students' learning experiences, and build essential creative skills.
ArtSmarts for Schools
This program brings students from local schools to our exhibitions on field trips, inspiring them to create their own works of art in our studios.
Crafting a Future
Teens participate in a year-long development program in partnership with professional artists and mentors as they develop their portfolios.
