TACA's mission is to encourage, promote and connect crafts and crafts people in Tennessee, working specifically through education, networking and marketing.TACA members enjoy a vital connection to other craft artists and enthusiasts interested in the fine craft heritage of Tennessee. Since TACA is a membership-driven organization, members play an active role in shaping the activities to meet their personal and professional needs. All members are welcome to attend board meetings where policies and procedures are developed and defined.

Membership in TACA is open to anyone (creators and collectors) of every skill level (novice to master). Our statewide network includes professional craft artists, teachers, students, shop and gallery owners, guilds, co-ops, schools and art departments, craft suppliers and promoters. We hope you'll join us, too.
