Helping American artists grow through education, visibility, and opportunity.

Learn About Our Mission Partner With Us

Handcrafted deserves meaningful support.

Shop American Handcrafted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Jacqueline Adamany to help independent American artists build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

Creating exceptional work is one skill. Learning how to price it, present it, reach buyers, explore wholesale, and grow a lasting business requires an entirely different kind of support. Through education, advocacy, visibility, and access to opportunity, we are working to give artists practical ways to move their businesses forward.

Our mission also includes helping consumers recognize the skill, value, and human connection behind handcrafted work. When more people understand why handcrafted matters, the entire community becomes stronger.
