Organizer

Craft Council of British Columbia & Italian Cultural Centre

The Craft Council of British Columbia is a charitable arts service organization which supports all stages of artistic practice in the craft sector; creates opportunities for artists to exhibit, sell and produce art; provides a voice for artists and craft organizations and aids in the development of active communities around craft. All of the Council's activities are targeted to increase the audience for contemporary craft.

The Italian Cultural Centre, or Il Centro, has been an essential part of Vancouver’s cultural landscape for more than three decades. It opened in 1977 when its founding members, 13 existing Italian Associations, came together “to promote and share Italian culture, values and heritage with all communities.”
