The Art Workers' Guild is an organisation established in 1884 by a group of British painters, sculptors, architects, and designers associated with the ideas of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement. The guild promoted the 'unity of all the arts', denying the distinction between fine and applied art. It opposed the professionalisation of architecture – which was promoted by the Royal Institute of British Architects at this time – in the belief that this would inhibit design. In his 1998 book, Introduction to Victorian Style, University of Brighton's David Crowley stated the guild was "the conscientious core of the Arts and Crafts Movement".

  • L’Art Workers' Guild est une organisation créée en 1884 par un groupe d'architectes britanniques proches des idées de William Morris et du mouvement Arts & Crafts. La guilde promeut l'« unité de tous les arts », rejetant la distinction entre beaux-arts et arts appliqués. Elle est opposée à la professionnalisation de l'architecture, qui est promue par le Royal Institute of British Architects à cette époque, dans la peur que le dessin d'architecture créatif soit inhibé par les exigences du professionnalisme.
