THE CO-OP
The Circle Craft Cooperative mission statement is
"to support and promote the work of co-operative members, as well as excellence in British Columbia craft
Circle Craft is an artist-run cooperative based in Vancouver, BC. Our governance structure is a volunteer Board of Directors, a majority who are Co-op members, that operates under the Carver Model of Governance. This means that the Board employs experienced individuals to run the different facets of the Co-operative on a day-to-day basis, while the Board focuses on long-term goals and vision for the organization.
Currently Circle Craft has two main factions; the Co-op and the Market, both of which are owned by the cooperative. The most visible part of the Co-op is run out of our flagship store on Granville Island. This is the face of the organization and main representation of our members for the majority of the year. The Market takes place annually in November, and is run out of a separate office in Vancouver.
