Social development through culture, arts, crafts and design

Materials, techniques and communities
At the G&T Foundation we promote the culture that manifests itself in creation. We work for the promotion, protection and transmission of artisanal techniques understood as cultural practices.

We are interested in the sustainability of materials in creation and in the empowerment of communities through the development of new capacities that strengthen arts and crafts.

MANAGEMENT

Carlos Gómez and Rafael Tamayo are cultural managers who promote arts and crafts through innovation and community work. Design curation, specialized publications, project management and marketing are some of the areas of expertise of the team.

NETWORKING

We are building a global network with institutions, creators and communities interested in capacity building and sustainability through arts and crafts. Some of our partner institutions are the Crafts Council (UK), Design Week Mexico (MX), Center Rog (Slov) and Studio Rain (Brazil).
