ccbc window installations
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 window installations are meant to encourage interaction, excite curiosity, and add a focal point of interest to our space.
During the COVID19 pandemic restrictions, you are welcome to view our window installations from a safe distance outside, or to come in to take a closer look following guidelines for a safe visit. Learn more to plan your visit.
