< [[Civil society/Catalogs]]

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 [[Catalog_of_Art_Nouveau_organizations|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 the index of

The articles in that publication also include a wealth of additional information on many of them. The list does not include information on many private workshops, stores, shops and other profit-oriented firms that were also integral parts of the international Arts and Crafts movement. Although the effort here is to identify primarily "nonprofit", non-commercial groups and associations, any distinction between profit-oriented and nonprofit activities in this or other movements is very difficult to draw convincingly. Several firms are included.)
