"The crafts sector encompasses a wide variety of economic and cultural activities, most rooted in the design and making of expressive, functional or decorative goods. Governments in Canada are often ambivalent toward the crafts sector due to a perception that it is neither economically important enough to warrant economic development support nor sufficiently artistic to deserve significant attention from culture or heritage ministries. These perceptions are beginning to change as Canadian crafts producers are increasingly recognized for superior craftsmanship, and as the link between high quality crafts production for gallery and art markets or tourism is recognized. There are signs that there is a growing demand for the unique products made by artisans and craftspeople, and significant economic valued-added is generated by this activity."
