The Artisan Group (TAG) is a group of handmade artists of all kinds, brought together by one spectacular woman, Valerie. This group has about 1,000 members- from photographers, jewelry designers, graphic designers, crocheters, soap makers and more!
Valerie, runs this group and I honestly don't know what I would be doing with my life if myself and my mother never met her. She has provided this group with so many amazing opportunities and resources, our business would not be where it is today without her.
TAG is a way for small businesses to get their products into the hands of celebs, on tv shows & movies, and given to exclusive members of the press.
I am lucky enough that I have gone out to do some celebrity and press events representing the members of TAG. I've come across so many talented people in this group and am blown away by the work these artists create. If you or someone you know have your own handmade shop, please take a look at The Artisan Group and if you think it's a good fit, apply! I promise, if you get accepted into the group (it's a juried organization) it will change your life! My mom keeps saying TAG is going to take over the world. We both believe so much in Valerie and what she has done with this organization that we know it's only up from here!
Take a look at some of the special shops below! Here is proof that TAG really is an amazing organization that helps promote well crafted handmade items/businesses!
