Based in Houston, Texas, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to education about the process, production, and history of craft. Its focus is on tangible works of art created largely from materials such as clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood, or found and recycled substances. Through exhibitions, residency programs, and educational initiatives, the center connects artists, educators, and audiences who are interested in contemporary craft and its methods.

The organization operates within the broader museums and cultural institutions sector, emphasizing hands-on understanding of craft practice. A notable recent development is the appointment of Zaynab Hilal as curatorial fellow for 2024–2027, reflecting ongoing programming expansion. The center has also pursued collaborations with other arts organizations, including a 2020 partnership with the Houston Center for Photography to offer an interdisciplinary craft-plus-photography residency.
