International Network of Craftsmanship
The network of international relations that has been created over the years around the theme of Artistic and Traditional Craftsmanship is very important for the activities of Artex.
In this context, there are two most significant elements and fields of activity:
– The International Charter of Crafts, founded thanks to the input of Artex, with the aim of defining and affirming the strategic lines of action for the protection, enhancement, and promotion of artistic and traditional craftsmanship. Thanks to an action of constant promotion, today the Charter boasts about 60 promoters and supporters including Agencies, Institutions and Associations at national and international level.
– The participation, as a member since 2015, in the activities of the World Craft Council Europe, the non-profit organization recognized by UNESCO, which works to protect and promote crafts as a vital part of the culture and economy of each country and create a network of contacts between artisans at an international level.
