http://www.konsthantverkscentrum.se/default.asp?setlang=enKonsthantverkscentrum, KHVC, was initially set up by the Swedish Association of Craftsmen and Industrial Designers (KIF) in 1992 as a response to the growing interest in crafts.
The aim is to promote Swedish craft. Today over 750 professional craftspeople are members, which makes KHVC the largest crafts organisation in Sweden.
All members have a degree, bachelor or master, from a university program, or have passed a jury selection, all in order to keep a highly professional profile.
KHVC promotes craftspeople and their work, inform and advice galleries, architects, public art bodies etc. for commissions and other projects.
KHVC informs makers about business and learning opportunities in a printed newsletter published four times a year and on the web site "members' pages".
KHVC is funded mainly by the Ministry of Culture.
KHVC runs offices in Stockholm, Göteborg and Örebro.
KHVC often cooperates with other organisations and institutions.
