Administrative history
The Nova Scotia Designer Craftsmen was formed in Halifax in 1973 by craftspeople interested in developing the fine craft movement in Nova Scotia and to serve the needs of craftspeople and the public. Incorporated in 1976 and re-named Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council in 1985, the council operates as a non-profit organization representing individual artisans, craft groups and enthusiasts in the textile, leather, ceramic, wood, metal and visual arts, and other handicrafts. NSDCC organizes workshops, conferences and educational programs to craftspeople, craft students, and the general public. The council also publishes a newsletter, holds juried craft exhibitions and markets including the annual Christmas Craft Market, maintains a permanent collection of fine crafts, communicates with other craft organizations in Nova Scotia, Canada, and internationally, and represents the interests of craftspeople to various government departments and agencies. NSDCC is governed by a board of directors and is a member of the Canadian Crafts Council.
