What Is LACA?

The Lebanon Art and Crafts Association (LACA) is a cooperative non-profit membership organization based in the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire. Our purpose is to "bring artists and crafts people together for mutual support and encouragement, to promote appreciation of art and crafts within the area, and to promote the sale of work as a stimulus to the creative interests and talents of the members" (LACA Bylaws). 

The members of LACA represent a wide variety of crafts and craft people in the Upper Valley. Although LACA does not have a jury system per se, the bylaws stipulate that all crafts must be of "high quality," "demonstrate technical proficiency," and "show individuality, originality, or creativity in their design or execution" (LACA Bylaws). While our crafts may include manufactured parts, it is required that all "items offered at each show and/or sale shall be substantially crafted by the member" (LACA Bylaws).
