About Workgroups & Task Forces

Artisanal Collective Workgroups are mission-critical forums co-led by members of the Leadership Council. Each group tackles a high-priority pillar of artisan development, from cultural storytelling and AI learning to ethical governance, training, tourism, and 4Ps partnerships.

Our task forces operate under each workgroup as agile, project-specific teams — producing briefs, recommendations, and implementation tools that power our platform, shape our AI, and define future cultural protocols. Every group is supported by its own GPT assistant to help draft, document, and disseminate knowledge.
