I’m so pleased to write about the upcoming Halifax Crafters Spring Fling. This is a fantastic event that happens twice a year in Halifax. As the name indicates this is a craft show but it’s unlike any other show happening in the region. The work here is fresh, local, fun, edgy and sometime damn sexy.
I look forward to participating in the show every time and plan for it for months.
The shows are organized by the Halifax Crafters collective, a group that started out organizing little intimate shows in the Khyber Ballroom Gallery. We quickly out grew that space and moved to the North Street Church. A couple of years later we had out grown the church which could fit close to 50 artists and their work.
In December 2009, we moved the show to the Olympic Center at 2304 Hunter street and can now fit up to 80 artists, have functioning washroom facilities, free parking, metro transit access, wheel chair access, and on site ATM. Life is good for the collective.
The Spring Fling will feature over 60 vendors taking up two floors. All of the above listed amenities will be available. Three artisanal food vendors have joined the collective. There will be a seating area and of course, really fantastic handmade lovelies.
Come check it out April 17-18th 11am-6pm both days. At the corner of Cunard and Hunter Streets in Halifax.
Mark your calender, and I’ll see you there!
Nice lookin’ poster.
