Oh, I forgot to say that a fair where craftsmen sell their handicrafts is termed a "craft fair". The largest such craft fair here in Nashville is put on annually by the Tennessee Association of Craft Artists.

The borderline between the more beautiful craft objects and fine art is sometimes a bit blurry. -------Original Email------- Subject :Re: [Tagging] craft= Proposal >From :mailto:[email protected] Date :Tue Aug 24 18:34:22 America/Chicago 2010 2010/8/24 Simon Ward <[email protected]>: > On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 02:28:53PM +0200, Simone Saviolo wrote: >> A sculptor (and an art gallery, often) ultimately hopes to sell his >> artwork.

IMHO art is not a craft. Crafts do produce something useful while art is mostly without the scope to be useful. It is more or less the definition of art to be "useless" ;-) Art is generally about meaning. Maybe you wanted to express handicraft (de:Kunsthandwerk)? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- John F.
