The 12th edition of the Earring Show is an exciting exhibition and sales opportunity for contemporary, designer-makers producing wearable art in a whole host of mediums.
The 2025 Earring Show will be held on Thursday, May 8th, 2024. All funds raised from the event go towards CCBC, its programs, and to help promote contemporary crafts in BC and Canada.
The Earring Show serves as a unique space that presents earrings as art, culture and a snapshot of contemporary high-level craftsmanship. Over the past 7000 years, earrings have acted as a window into cultural practices. At times, earrings have been used to introduce new norms into culture, at other times, to signify a specific cultural identity or as an expression of the times we find ourselves in.
By participating in this event your unique contribution – informed by your experience, imagination & culture – will continue to recognize the importance of earrings in their many roles, from adornment and status markers, to agents of protest and cultural markers.
