Danish Crafts was established by the Danish Ministry of Culture in 1999. Danish Crafts is responsible for promoting contemporary Danish craft, encouraging high standards and increasing awareness of the qualities and potentials of craft and design. Danish Crafts' work is aimed at branding Danish craft and design at an international level and helping professional craft artists and designers gain a foothold in the international market. Danish Crafts participates in international trade fairs and engages independent curators to create exhibitions and collections. Danish Crafts collaborates with makers, retailers, manufacturers, organisations, and government institutions.
