Description
For over 25 years, CERF+ has been able to provide financial support and preparedness and recovery information to craft artists because of a national community of supporters that care about craft artists and their work.
Find out how CERF+ grew out of craft shows, hear from artists CERF+ has helped through emergencies, and learn about CERF+'s commitment to emergency preparedness for artists in this video from the producers of the award winning Craft in America series.
The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) got its start in 1985, when founders Carol Sedestrom Ross, then president of American Craft Enterprises, and glassblower Josh Simpson (both featured in the photo above) decided they wanted to tap into the inherent generosity that they had observed within the craft community. It was common practice at these fairs for exhibitors to "pass the hat" for fellow craft artists who were dealing with emergency situations. CERF was founded in an effort to formalize and build upon this simple grassroots gesture.
