Citizens of Craft

Citizens of Craft is a unique national online tool that allows your work to be accessed by clients, tourists and supporters internationally. As a cross-Canada locator, you can create a profile as a Craft Ontario member, and ensure that your work is promoted to a broad audience.

Citizens of Craft is a national project, delivered in participation with the provincial and territorial craft councils of Canada, and the Canadian Crafts Federation. The goals of this project are to clarify and deepen the public’s understanding of craft and make craft more accessible to a diverse public.

As a Craft Professional, Student, Affiliate or Business member of Craft Ontario, you can:

• Showcase your craft both to the existing craft community and those who are discovering and purchasing craft
• Be presented to site visitors through a wide array of robust searching options
• Provide you the ability to post and promote personal or community craft events
• And, most importantly, be part of a mass online exhibit of Canadian craft

 To create a profile, you will need:

• Your Craft Ontario membership number
• A high-quality image of yourself
• Several high-quality images of your work
• A list of stores that sell your work (if applicable)
• Links to your social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest)
• Your website URL
