ccbc installation program
We showcase creative installations that consider viewers outside and within the shop in order to engage and evoke discourse on the role of craft in a compact environment. The installations are meant to encourage interaction, excite curiosity, and add a focal point of interest to our space.
We invite the public to visit these installations at our gallery and shop space. They can be viewed from outside during a stroll, but visitors are welcome to come in, take a closer look and interact with the installation.
Are you an artist? Submit your proposal for the installation program.
