The C2 Centre for Craft Shop is pleased to host a Student Holiday Craft Sale featuring post secondary students working in craft based media.
Our goal for this event is to provide a venue for students working in craft media to connect directly with the public, generate revenue from the sale of craft work, and introduce a new audience to the C2 facility.
Deadline: October 30th, 2023
