CTF has grown out of a frustration with feeling helpless to affect change on an individual level.

By banding together and pooling the resources of like minded artists and art appreciators, we can make the changes we want to see in our own communities.

We are partnering with Youth Arts Organizations across the country to provide their students with scholarships to renowned Craft schools and pre-college programs.  Not only are we creating pathways into the field for BIPOC artists, but we offer continued support once these artists have arrived. This means connecting people with professional opportunities like internships and commissions that will help establish their networks and plant roots in the community. And for those who have already planted their roots, we celebrate and support them year round.
