NeoCraft Conference is going to be held at NSCAD in Nova Scotia next November.

An International Conference on the Crafts and Modernity.
Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University is pleased to be hosting the NeoCraft conference, 23 – 25 November, 2007, as part of the Canadian Crafts Federation’s Craft Year 2007/Année des métiers d’art.

The NeoCraft conference has been designed with the objective of further developing critical thinking, theory and history in relation to the crafts. It is the intention of NeoCraft to not only acknowledge the vital role the crafts play in our culture and economy, but to challenge the position of craft by creating a forum for lively exchange and debate.

Check out their site at neocraft.ca to see a full list of speakers and papers to be presented.
