CCCA online

Hello,

A wonderful woman from Art in the Open in Brampton forwarded this link onto me and I've been having the most wonderful time exploring the amazing artists on CCCA Online .

'The CCCA's Canadian Art Database Project is a work in progress, with the overall objective of broadening public awareness of contemporary Canadian Art in Canada and abroad. To accomplish this the CCCA is documenting the careers of some of Canada's leading professional artists, designers, and art writers as well as some important Canadian art institutions and organizations that have helped shape the Canadian art scene since the 1960s.' FromThe Canadian Art Database (CCCA online)

I'd like to share with you some of the artists I explored in the Applied Arts section. I found them most inspirational and a fabulous sampling of strong Canadian Craft. I hope you will as well.
