HCCC has collaborated with local and national organizations, guilds and curators to frame an arts organization that is both accessible to general audiences, unwavering in its quality, and dedicated to contemporary craft at the highest level. In order to most fully educate the public about contemporary craft and support artists at all stages of their development, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft utilizes a three-part artistic approach involving exhibitions, artist studios and a retail gallery, with education interwoven into all three aspects.

HCCC’s artist in residence program is a unique way of presenting the best local and national artists to the public in an open, educational setting.
