The rumours are true! Starting next year, the CCF/FCMA’s Craft Year project is back again, with Craft Year 2015.

Our steering committee is working away, as are our many partners to plan for this special year-long festival of events. Provincial and Territorial craft councils are spearheading special projects both nationally and regionally, and we’re looking for even more partners to confirm as the year approaches. (Events in the works already include a national marketing campaign for Craft, an international textile arts conference, the opening of a new craft centre, and much more!)

You can be involved too! Craft Year 2015 will include listings and promotion of events at the national, regional, local, even international levels, including everything from exhibitions, fairs and open houses, to book launches, performance pieces, community craft events and well, anything and everything you can think of! We hope you’ll be inspired to stretch your limits, try something new, or expand existing programming to bring new attention and enthusiasm to Craft.

More information will be released as this special year approaches, but for now, we want to hear from you! What do you have in the works? What special craft activities, events, or projects will you launch in 2015? There are loads of opportunities to get involved, particularly through your local provincial or territorial craft council.

Watch for more information, coming soon!
