signature events

The Craft Council of British Columbia (CCBC) proudly hosts a variety of signature events throughout the year, showcasing the talent and creativity of local artisans. These signature events are designed to support artist development, foster community engagement, and highlight the importance of the craft sector in BC.

Our signature events offer artists, artisans, and craft enthusiasts the chance to connect, learn, and showcase their work. Through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative projects, these events create opportunities for growth, innovation, and creativity within the craft community. By participating in these events, artists gain visibility and recognition, while attendees have the opportunity to experience the unique craftsmanship that defines BC’s vibrant craft sector. These events celebrate the diverse skills and artistic expressions of local creators, allowing everyone to engage with the craft community.

Whether it’s our annual craft fairs, art showcases, or public demonstrations, each signature event provides something for all levels of interest. Whether you’re an experienced artisan or a newcomer to the world of craft, our signature events offer valuable opportunities to learn, create, and connect. Our signature events not only promote the growth of individual artists but also contribute to the overall development of the craft sector in BC. By participating, both artists and attendees help build a stronger, more connected community that values the artistry and craftsmanship of locally-made creations.

Join us at one of our signature events and immerse yourself in the creative spirit that makes BC’s craft sector so unique. Celebrate, support, and be inspired by the talented artists who make our community special.
