Craft Collaborations
Alberta Craft Council Online Auction Fundraiser
September 10 – 30, 2020
From September 10 to 30, 2020, and coinciding with the provincial Month of the Artist, the Alberta Craft Council is hosting Craft Collaborations, an online auction fundraiser in celebration of the province’s enormous creative talent and the organization’s 40th anniversary.
This year the arts sector was particularly hard hit by having many projects, venues, and sales vanish overnight. In support of our creative community, the Alberta Craft Council came up with a collaborative way to inspire, showcase, create connections, and ultimately create revenue for artists working on a very special project.
Craft Collaborations is a unique fundraising project bringing together artists over 45 artists from across the province and across disciplines to create one-of-a-kind and limited-edition work.
This unique fundraiser ensures that the artists receive 50% of the retail cost of their project. At the same time, funds raised from the auction go to the Alberta Craft Council’s continuation of advocacy and promotion of fine craft in the Alberta.
Members of the public, arts patrons and craft collectors in Alberta and from across Canada are invited to bid on artworks by visiting the Alberta Craft Council auction.
Craft Collaborations can also be seen in-person at the Alberta Craft Gallery-Edmonton and Calgary until September 30, 2020.
