It's the plastic artists' union that is the non-profit organization. They run this "fund".
mrrafe May 15, 2018:
Arts, crafts, plastic In common Eng. usage, "crafts" is professional work usually in ceramics, wood, textiles, or glass; "arts and crafts" is the work of children or amateurs; and "fine art" is the opposite of utilitarian art (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_art). "Plastic" is a more technical term describing materials on which an artist can impose a shape or appearance, such as ceramics, metal, or paint (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_arts). Arts and crafts, crafts, fine, and plastic are four different things, none of them entirely synonymous. Note also the combinatulFonduluiPlastic.ro link, suggesting the fondul is an artists' non-profit organization.

Fine fund Fine fund is a mistake in translation, I think. Some plastic arts are fine arts, but I'm quite sure the correct term is plastic arts - not arts and crafts, which is too narrow, or fine arts, which is too inclusive.Plastic means sculptural, molded, or sometimes painted. The only part I'm unsure of is Fondul.

OK, deci Fund e mai potrivit, asociația era UAP, iar activitatea comercială se desfășura prin FP.

Arts and Crafts Fund e cel mai potrivit, ca să nu excludem de ex. mărțișoarele. :-)
Peer comment(s):

neutral mrrafe : Plastic arts may not be arts and crafts or fine arts. Arts and Crafts was an American fine arts movement but today it more often refers to work by children and amateurs although there is some fine art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Crafts_moveme
