Made to be discovered

CRAFTED VANCOUVER ACTIVATES ENRICHING CRAFT CONNECTIONS.

Designed to celebrate the vitality of our hand-crafted world, Crafted Vancouver pools together a unique blend of exceptional local, national & international artisans & designers, studios, galleries, museums, showrooms, shops & luxury retail, craft & design schools and member associations, all making, exhibiting, supporting or selling fine craft-based work.

As the only month-long craft-based festival in North America we present fine craft across its long continuum; from the ancestral, tribal & traditional to cutting edge contemporary.

Our events celebrate the craftsperson and the work that results in exciting and sometimes surprising ways, all custom designed to get you up close and personal.
