"Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design has been a continuous source of opportunity and support throughout my career. From selling my ceramics in the Gallery Shop to receiving guidance in wholesale trade shows, teaching studio classes, and accessing professional development programs, the Centre has played a vital role in my growth.
Now, through the Emerging Curators program, I am able to expand my curatorial practice. In the program, I am working closely with a mentor, developing exhibitions, and sustaining meaningful engagement for artists across Atlantic Canada. The Centre continues to create valuable opportunities for artists like me as we grow and evolve, truly investing in our creative economy." – Kelsey Watson (@potsbykw), Inverness ceramic artist and 460 Club Member
