Since 1973 we have been making craft more significant in the cultural life of British Columbians and Canadians. Through our public gallery and retail shop on Granville Island, Crafthouse,we exhibit and interpret contemporary objects in ceramic,glass, fiber, metal and wood that honor innovation in art,craft and design and celebrate materials and processes.CCBC is the only craft-focused arts service organization in British Columbia that fulfills an educational and public mandate with regional and national objectives. As a membership-based organization, CCBC welcomes all those who are interested in or curious about craft. Many individuals and institutions belong to CCBC - artists, teachers, scholars, collectors, gallery owners and professionals in related fields in British Columbia. This diversity is well represented in CCBC's governance through its Board of Directors, which is elected annually by the members.
