WHAT'S NEXT
| DONATE TO OUR HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN!
The CSDA/CCAD contributes to the craft community by commissioning a new holiday ornament each year.
This year, donors who contribute $75 or more will receive a handmade, one-of-a-kind ornament by Naila Janzen, a textile artist and designer based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She uses colour, line, and texture to create “functional art for the home," including quilts, pillows, wall hangings, and digital prints. Help the Canadian Society of Decorative Arts broaden awareness for decorative art and design in Canada, and promote Canadian artists and makers. Start or add to your collection today! DONATE NOW! |
