The Artistic Crafts Days were created in 2002, upon the request of the French government. They are named European Artistic Crafts Days (EACD) since 2012. They were launched by the Institut National des Métiers d’Art (INMA) and have become the first international event dedicated to crafts. They take place every year during the beginning of spring.

Craft studios open their doors to the public and outdoor demonstrations are held by craftspeople, training schools and museums. 24 countries are involved in the 2023 EACD.
