current and upcoming exhibitions & events
Come and see what’s living in the CCBC Shop & Gallery on Granville Island!
Since 1986, the CCBC Gallery has been dedicated to providing opportunities for craft artists. Our annual cycle includes six contemporary craft exhibitions, a travelling exhibition, and a student exhibition that allows emerging artists the chance to work with an experienced curator in showing their art.
If you are interested in submitting an exhibition proposal for 2027 please review the submission guidelines below.
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.
