The Alberta Craft Council
"THIRTY" Exhibition
January 16 - April 3, 2010

The Alberta Craft Council celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2010. THIRTY includes 30 pieces and written insights from a selection of long-term, emerging and new members. THIRTY ACC members have been invited to participate in this exhibition; it includes craft artists who have been active in the ACC for up to 30 years, members who contributed something to 30 years of change and growth, as well as craft artists who are going to be part of the next 30 years. Each piece selected for this exhibition is representative of an artist's involvement with the Craft Council. Many are from the past, such as a year when an ACC award was received, or when an artist joined the ACC board, or participated in a memorable ACC exhibition or event. Others are more recent work that shows some aspect of the ACC's current role in their careers; and some represent or speculate a future that a member sees for their career or for the fine craft scene in general. THIRTY looks back and forward, through craft objects… and ACC member's thoughts.

The Museum of Vancouver
"Art of Craft" Exhibition
January 14 - April 11, 2010

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.

The Unity & Diversity exhibition was developed by the Canadian Crafts Federation / Fédération canadienne des métiers d'art (CCF/FCMA) as the feature show of the 2009 Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Cheongju, South Korea. Canada was selected as the official guest country for this prestigious event, expanding international exposure for Canadian work and expanding the cultural relationship between Canada and Korea. 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.

Alberta artists included in the Selected Works of Unity & Diversity:
Julia Reimer, Dawn Detarando, Karen Cantine, Melissa Pedersen, Linda McBain Cuyler, Kari Woo, Brian McArthur, Greg Payce, Katrina Chaytor, Alaynee Goodwill
