to
Manitoba Crafts Museum & Library 1-329 Cumberland Avenue (C2 Centre for Craft), Winnipeg, Manitoba R3B 1T2
Opening Reception: Friday December 1, 7pm - 9pm
How are you celebrating Canada 150? How about with the colours Red and White? These colours have been used traditionally in craft of a wide range of media, from quilts, and embroidery to ceramics and paper craft, and also through cultures worldwide.
In November 2017, the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library will be celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Confederation with an exhibition that features red and white craft. A portion of the exhibition will feature historical work from the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library collection.
The remainder of the exhibition will include works submitted from the community that meet the following criteria: a) reflecting Canadian history and motifs, b) showcasing the truly multicultural nation of Canada, and c) that are original fine craft. All work must only include the colours red and white.
