Discover Craft North Carolina is a virtual gateway to traditional and contemporary crafts at museums, galleries, schools and arts centers across the state. Using a simple menu, the site provides travelers with self-explanatory tools to assist them in touring North Carolina's craft community. The site's participating craft organizations represent a broad stylistic range from Native American and other traditional work to functional objects and more contemporary work that stretch the concept of craft in new ways. Each organization has a brief description and users can find those that best fit their interests and travel plans by searching by region, media and experience type. Links to local and state tourism agencies and MapQuest help travelers plan itineraries and find lodging, food and other nearby attractions. Discover Craft North Carolina is one of several new online ventures of the North Carolina Arts Council that are designed to assist the cultural tourist in finding arts information and activities around the state.
