A-FAD
We are the FAD Association of Artists and Artisans. At A-FAD we champion art and the crafts as an intersection, as a debate: artists and artisans who question themselves together and propose together. We claim for ourselves the responsibility of calling upon and dynamizing the connection between the hand and the mind. At A-FAD we believe that matter is essential to understanding our position in the world as designers, artists, artisans and users.
While in the year 1903 a group of artisans, architects and artists founded the FAD, seventy years later a core of artists and artisans «called for» their specificity within a FAD that had been a pioneer in boldly committing to design and industry since the nineteen-seventies.
Today, at A-FAD we enthusiastically pursue the task of supporting the artistic and artisan community from a cross-sectional perspective in which art, the crafts and contemporary jewellery share space and dialogue.
Our duty is also to focus our attention to the new crafts that are emerging in a response to new creation models and to dynamise the knowledge born of materials and their properties.
