For over 35 years, the One of a Kind Show has been helping artists and artisans from across the country to make a living out of their passion. We are not alone in our endeavors – this section celebrates the educational institutions and organizations of the Canadian art and craft community who work to teach, foster talent, grant opportunities, and increase exposure of the uniquely talented artists and artisans working today. Following its debut at the 2011 Spring Show, the Craft Community of Canada section will once again feature 10 artists who have been nominated by one of Canada's leading arts & culture organizations at the 2012 One of a Kind Spring Show.
