Inspired by Alice, our ED’s pal and the Council’s resident dog, Pals, Companions, Kin celebrates the meaningful relationships we share with animals. More than pets, they are our pals, companions, and chosen family – our kin. We invite CCBC artists to donate one-of-a-kind or limited-edition handmade works that reflect these connections, from traditional pet products to thoughtful interpretations of care, joy, companionship, and memory across all craft mediums.
