One of the interesting features of the Arts and Crafts movement is that it occurred at time of great interest in 'socialism' (in its broadest 19th century sense as a contrast term to 'individualism'). As a result, alongside the creation of individual artists and craftsmen in traditional ataliers (artists workshops), there was a substantial formation of other civil society organizations - specialized production units, movements, groups, clubs, networks, alliances and many other types of organized activity quite unlike anything else in art history. Here is a partial list of some of those organizations, garnered from a variety of publications on art history. (A similar list has been prepared for the Art Nouveau movement which saw a similar -- and to some degree overlapping -- burst of organization during roughly the same time period. (The following associations, cooperatives, groups and organizations are listed in Karen Livingstone and Linda Parry, Eds. International Arts and Crafts. London: V&A Publications. 2006. The articles in this publication also include a wealth of additional information on many of them.)
