USPA NEWS - On Tuesday January 24, 2023, the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak, in the presence of Luc Lesenecal, President of the National Institute of Crafts (INMA), distinguished eight professionals in the arts and crafts during the official award ceremony Master of Arts titles. Awarded for life, the title of Master of Art distinguishes craftsmen for their career and their involvement in the renewal and transmission of crafts. Created in 1994 by the Ministry of Culture and implemented since 2012 by INMA, the Masters of Art – Students program was supported by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation from 2016 to 2022. It is now a unique initiative in Europe, intended to perpetuate know-how that is only practiced in a few workshops. Since its creation, the official title of Master of Art has been awarded to 149 professionals with remarkable and rare know-how. Once appointed, each Master of Art has the mission of passing on his know-how to the student with whom he has been selected. During the three years of the Master of Art - Student program, the pair benefits from an allowance allowing them to free up production time to devote themselves to transmission."
