By now many of you have heard about, seen, and been a part of the Citizens of Craft™ movement and for this, we thank you!

We, the Canadian Crafts Federation, are strongly committed to this movement – to growing and increasing the reach of Citizens of Craft™. But we can’t do it alone. We can’t do it without you. We need you to move together with us. So how can you do this?

To date, the movement has received fantastic support from you in the form of visiting the website, using the #CITIZENSOFCRAFT hashtag when sharing our manifesto and promoting craft, and by wearing the Citizens of Craft™ buttons and t-shirts. But now is the time for your most important contribution of all…

Now is the time when individual professionals, businesses and institutions who are members of a Provincial or Territorial Craft Council, or an Affiliate Member of the Canadian Crafts Federation, can create their Profile on the Citizens of Craft™ website. Whether you create, sell, showcase, promote, or teach craft, having a Profile in the Citizens Community is a way for you to present your connection to craft to the world.

When the site launches, your Profile will:

• Showcase your craft both to the existing craft community and those who are discovering and purchasing craft
• Be presented to site visitors through a wide array of robust searching options
• Provide you the ability to post and promote personal or community craft events
• And, most importantly, be part of a mass online exhibit of Canadian craft

Please click the following link to complete and submit your Profile:

We thank you again for declaring yourself a Citizen of Craft, for joining our Citizens Community by creating your Profile, and for playing an integral role in furthering the movement.

Stay tuned for more updates to come!
