ARE YOU INTERESTED?

SHOULD THE CRAFT COMMUNITY
RETAIN USE OF THE SO0N TO BE
VACANT CANADIAN CRAFT GALLERY
ON GRANVILLE ISLAND AS A MULTI-
USE SPACE?

The AFFILIATES’ FORUM would like to
ascertain Whether the craftspeople of
B.C. would be interested in keeping this
space for their own use and if so, how
they envision using it. [enough interest
is shown we will pursue the matter. We
can aay mow that the facility, with a
manager, could be rin at a very reason-
able cost.

Varlous factors to be consicered:
1) the space will be available soon.
2) the Granville Island Trust would

like to see it remain a public venue
for crafts.

3) itoeeds no irmecdate renovation or
updating.

4) it has suitable office and library
space and limited exhibition space.

5) ft is situated in the densest cluster
of craft studios, galleries and retail

shops anywhere in B.C,

6) Granville Island, though hardly
central to the lower mainland, does
have the greatest car and foot traffic
anywhere fin BoC.

7) future plans for Granville Island
involve more accommodation for the
crafts.

8) the rent is very reasonable.

1993 has been designated ‘Celebrate
Craft in the Americas’ with activities

happening throughout Canada, the U.5.,
Mexico and South America. The

Cartwright Street location could become
a. centre for craft organizations to present
their work to the public.

We want to hear from you. Discussions
of policy, funding, administration and
other practical matters will continue if
an interst is shown. Fill in the following
questionnaire and tell us how you envi-
sion using the space. Please send your
response to CABC c/o the AFFILIATES’
FORUM by June 30, 1991.
