Co-op Membership

Encompassing traditional, contemporary, one-of-kind, and production works, our mission is to support and promote our artists as representatives of excellence in BC craft. To this end, Circle Craft is seeking local artists to participate in our co-operative in all areas of fine craft.

• British Columbia residents
• Artists with training and/or experience in areas of fine craft (past training includes mentor-ships, self-study, workshops, etc.)
• Artists with a demonstrated ongoing artistic development and commitment to art practice.

Please note training in an academic institution is not mandatory.

The jurying process happens over three stages. If an artist's work passes Selections Stage 1, the Selections Committee will invite the artist to submit physical samples of their work for further consideration in the second stage of the jurying process.

A non-refundable Selections Fee of $25 + GST will be applied to Stage 2 applications. Stage 3 will be an in person or online meeting with store management to discuss further on what it means to be an active coop member and a chance for us to answer any questions you may have. There is no fee to submit your initial application.
