Our Mission Statement;

 The purpose of the group is to preserve and promote the hand making of arts and crafts.  Whether producing fine art, folk art, hand crafted or hand made items, all persons, regardless of age, sex, nationality or religious preference, are encouraged to share, demonstrate, and promote their skills. All mediums and genres are encouraged.

     The group works with the Yuma County Fair to sponsor, promote and provide workers who help with the "Open Crafts and Hobbies Division" as well as the "Student Art Division". These divisions supply an outlet for local persons to display and share their skills.

     The group also promotes the learning and teaching of hand making decorative, as well as functional items, by sponsoring fund raising events. Net proceeds from these events are donated to the Yuma County Library, earmarked for the purchase of art related books and videos.
