Ontario Craft '09

One of the ways in which the OCC supports the development of contemporary craft is through a biennial juried exhibition showing the best of our members’ work. Since 1975 the OCC has held juried exhibitions in order to celebrate, examine and assess the state of Ontario craft, and this year will be our second time renewing this tradition on a larger scale through the Queen St. W. Gallery. Learn more>>
