'Unity & Diversity: Selected Works' Opens at the MOV

As a featured event in the official 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Cultural Olympiad, the Canadian Crafts Federation’s Selected Works of Unity & Diversity will be displayed as part of a triptych of contemporary craft exhibitions titled The Art of Craft.

Two more exhibitions, including By Hand (work from British Columbian craft artists) and Moments In Between (work from Korean craft artists) complete the Art of Craft exhibition, combining three shows which feature concept, material and functionality at their best. 

The Art of Craft opening takes place on January 13^th at 7pm. Tickets to this event are $15 each, available at the door or online from the Museum of Vancouver website. 

The exhibition runs until April 11^th, 2010, but if you cannot make it to Vancouver, there are other ways to experience the show. Brand new catalogs have been produced for all three of the Art of Craft exhibitions, available for sale on site at the Museum and through the Canadian Crafts Federation.  A touring schedule of the Selected Works of Unity & Diversity is being compiled as other venues in Canada are confirmed – watch for more information about another location near you.

^{This exhibition was made possible through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, VANOC, the Ontario Arts Council, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Saskatchewan Arts Board and other funding bodies.}
