During our September trip to Indonesia, Village Art, a Seattle based importer, was able to establish the following key relationships thus becoming the new “western partner” for promoting village crafts:
Foundation for the Development of Lombok Artisans
Foundation for the Economic Development for
Sumbawa & Lombok
Indonesian Ministry of Industry
Indonesian Ministry of Trade
Village Art purchases a great deal of inventory from the Indonesian archipelago. Together with the help and cooperation from the above organizations, we will work together to promote better quality control, develop new designs and establish new markets for Indonesian village handicrafts across the United States. We will also provide support for schoolbooks and uniforms for village children.
