The Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftmanship

Enhancement and preservation of artistic crafts

The Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship is an international non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance and preserve artistic crafts, strengthening their links with the world of design. We want everyone to be able to rediscover the creative potential of the human hand, supporting the exceptional art masters who, throughout Europe, make the best use of this gift and who, making use of ancient traditions, knowledge and skills, create objects that maintain their value unchanged in time. We take our name from Michelangelo, who represents a point of reference in this field: master of art and visionary artist, the great Michelangelo embodied the essence of creativity and craftsmanship, bringing both to levels of absolute excellence.

Our missionWe give our support to art masters who create works of great value with their own hands. We value their expertise, the traditions they represent and their passions. We encourage and foster their collaborations with the most renowned creative minds internationally, and at the same time help talented young artists and designers to express their potential. In Europe and beyond, our mission receives the vital support of a growing network of institutions that share the same vision and ideals with us.
