At the Craft Council of BC, our carefully curated window installations showcase the unique talents of established and emerging artists from across the province. Sparking curiosity and meaningful conversation, these installations make art easily accessible to all, from those just out for a stroll around Granville Island to artists deeply involved with the world of craft.
Whatever your level of familiarity with craft art, we invite you to come celebrate BC’s vibrant and diverse craft scene and be inspired by the work of its innovative creators.
