The New Orleans Arts and Crafts Club was a non-profit organization headquartered in the French Quarter of New Orleans in the early to mid-20th century. It was dedicated to expanding the global arts and crafts design movement into New Orleans, emphasizing the visual arts. The organization also promoted the preservation of the architectural heritage of the city at a time when many of the historically significant buildings of the French Quarter were being demolished.[1][2]
