Introduction

Welcome to the sixteenth edition of the Crafts Council of British Columbia's Craft Shows guide. This annual guide features British Columbia craft and trade show listings, shows from across Canada and the United States. Craft Shows 2009 is an excellent resource for both professional and emerging craftspeople as well as the general public.

The Crafts Council of British Columbia is a network of craft professionals dedicated to the development of excellence in crafts. Since 1972, the CCBC has acted as the coordinating body for all craft disciplines in the Province of BC. One of the Council's roles is to connect craftspeople with resources to increase their opportunities for sustainability. Craft Shows 2009 is one way of presenting opportunities for makers to sell and showcase their work, as well as network with peers. It also presents buyers with a guide to shows so that they can purchase and enjoy Canadian craft.

Disclaimer: The CCBC provides this guide as a service to our members; it is inclusive, but not exhaustive, as we are only able to list those shows for which we receive information. All users of this guide are encouraged to contact the CCBC if they know of a show that is not included. All craft shows are welcome. Call Calvin Taplay at (604) 687-6511, toll-free within BC at (888) 687-6511, or email info@craftcouncilbc.ca. The CCBC has made every effort to ensure the information contained in Craft Shows 2009 is true and accurate, but assumes no liability in case of error or changes in programs by organizers. No endorsement is made by inclusion in this guide. All listings are free with the exception of display advertisements. It is the responsibility of the craftsperson to research each show carefully prior to entry to determine suitability.
