CONNAISSANCE DES ARTS SUPPORTS THE APPLIED ARTS
The practice of many centuries-old applied arts is becoming increasingly rare. Connaissance des Arts has for a decade actively promoted these often little-known métiers at the crossroads of meticulous craftwork and art, applied arts and artistic creation in its different media, including special issues on Métiers d’Art, vertical navigation links on the website, newsletters and more. It is more essential than ever that skilled craftspeople be recognized as full-fledged creative talents and enjoy access to resources to pass on and preserve these unique skills and know-how.
