首屆“創造東西”手工藝術博覽會Splendid Craft Art Fair (SCAF)——是中國首個唯一聚焦當代手工藝術的博覽會，旨在為當代手工藝術家、畫廊機構、藏家及藝術愛好者提供一個國際化的專業交流平臺；與傳統工藝美術、非遺等不同，SCAF強調傳統手工藝術的當代化轉換，傳承匠人精神，通過創新的藝術探索與跨文化交流，賦予傳統手工技藝與材料在當代文化框架下的新生命；SCAF將藝術融入日常生活，倡導新的美學生活方式，彰顯獨特品味，提升生活品質和幸福感。
展會亮點：
對標國際成熟市場，填補國內空缺的首創性
SCAF為國內首創，在國際市場上，當代手工藝術博覽會市場經過50多年的發展已非常成熟且具備專業權威性，例如英國的COLLECT、芝加哥的SOFA、新晉的日本金澤KOGEI，這些藝博會都對該國當代手工藝行業的發展起著重要的作用。SCAF填補了我國在此領域的空白，具有開創性意義。
