Each year the MCA presents the Maine Craft Artist Awards. The award is intended to honor Maine craft artists for a career of excellence, craftsmanship and contribution to the field, as well as, to exceptional supporters of Maine craft.

Each year we invite an MCA Member to create a one of a kind award pin for the artist awardee(s). Below is a simple archive of the award pins.
