When Gov. Warner announced his Virginia Works initiative last spring, we actively advocated with the governor and the secretary of commerce and trade that the Artisans Center be the lead organization for that initiative. We weren't successful with that, even though we did get the secretary and the Department of Housing and Community Development to remember that there is an Artisans Center of Virginia that should be an integral part of anything that they do related to the works of artisans anywhere in Virginia.
