Craftwork4.0, a Creative Europe-funded platform dedicated to supporting and promoting the emerging craftspeople and makers, has launched its first-ever New Members Call. The call is open to organisations from across Europe that are actively engaged in supporting emerging craft professionals to join the network. Eligible organisations include cultural foundations, training institutions, festivals, event organisers, venues, networks, or businesses—large or small—that contribute to the craft ecosystem through education, mobility programmes, funding opportunities, showcasing events, or other forms of engagement.
Selected members will be invited to participate in the platform’s activities and will have the opportunity to co-organise events with other Craftwork4.0 members across Europe. They will also be able to share and promote the work of emerging craft practitioners they support through the platform’s online and public-facing channels. The aim is to create stronger visibility for the sector while encouraging collaboration and exchange between organisations across borders.
Organisations involved in EU-funded craft-related initiatives—whether independently or in partnership—are particularly encouraged to apply. Membership is open on a rolling basis, with no fixed deadline, allowing flexibility for interested organisations to join when ready.
