For nearly four decades, the National Arts and Crafts Conference has stood as the premier gathering for admirers of the movement. Whether you're a seasoned collector, a curious newcomer, or a devoted artisan, this event offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the enduring beauty and philosophy of Arts and Crafts design. And for the past twenty years, The Mission Motif has proudly supported this remarkable celebration of handmade excellence.
Held at the historic Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, the 2026 conference runs from February 20–22 and promises three days of inspiration, education, and connection. From expert-led seminars and hands-on workshops to a bustling marketplace filled with masterful creations, the experience is as rich as the legacy it honors.
