Society of Arts + Crafts

Founded in 1897, the Society of Arts + Crafts has undergone a number of iterations—and the last couple of years has been no exception. After first moving from Newbury Street to the Seaport, the local organization recently pivoted and went virtual, making works of art and craftsmanship even more accessible to the masses. Through its CraftBoston initiative, folks can admire—and even purchase—examples of everyday art, ranging from jewelry to furniture to toys. The online exhibitions regularly change themes, including the seasonal CraftBoston Holiday, and artists can readily reach the public through virtual events, like workshops and classes.
