Call for Events: Cape Breton Craft Week 2026
We’re thrilled to announce the inaugural Cape Breton Craft Week 2026, happening June 1–7, 2026, across Unama’ki Cape Breton. This week-long celebration of craft and creativity will showcase the rich and dynamic craft traditions of our region, and we’d love for you to take part.
Through a dynamic week of events, workshops, exhibitions, and community gatherings, Craft Week fosters connections between makers and learners, locally and beyond, while supporting the growth of the local craft economy and cultural landscape. Events will take place across the island in partnership with cultural organizations, artists and partners.
We invite artists, arts organizations and community partners to submit event proposals for Craft Week. Your idea might be:
- A workshop (hands-on making-session)
- An artist talk or demonstration
- An installation or pop-up exhibition
- A community gathering with craft at its heart
- Or something else that creatively engages and inspires craft-curious audiences
