Saskatchewan Craft Gallery

The Saskatchewan Craft Gallery opened on October 4, 1984. Helping craft artisans and artists market their work has always been a key activity of the SCC. It began in the Battlefords with the Saskatchewan Handcraft Festival in 1976. This craft market has been joined by Wintergreen (a Christmas market in Regina), Waterfront (an outdoor summer market in Saskatoon) and Harvest Moon – (a fall market in Lloydminster). In 2009, the SCC acquired Traditions Handcraft Gallery in Regina to provide a year-round location for consumers to access the best in Saskatchewan craft. Another key activity of the SCC has been promoting Fine Craft and the accomplishments of Saskatchewan craftspeople. In 1991, the SCC moved into its current location at 813 Broadway Avenue in Saskatoon. This location included a storefront public gallery, which has been the site of many exhibitions of Saskatchewan Fine Craft, as well as national, and international work. The SCC has also been working to promote public knowledge of Fine Craft – through street demonstrations, lectures, and educational outreach to schools. For professional craftspeople, the SCC continues its dynamic role in developing Fine Craft, providing mentors for emerging artisans, and organizing regular workshops, classes, markets, and exhibitions.
