"Behind every artist, there is an entrepreneur, a friend, a community builder. When you buy from local artists—instead of a big-box store—you’re investing in your region and helping build strong, and healthy communities."

 

Shop Craft NB

Shop Craft NB started back in 2020 with the initiative to help crafters and makers during covid-19 period. In Partnership with NBCCD and Created Here Magazine, the shop was created in format of a pop-up from the months of October to Dec 2020.

With the world pandemic changing the way most costumers shop was seeing a need to create not only pop-up events but an online hub where we could host and promote all Craft NB members interested in selling their work online.

In partnership with Canada council for the arts and digital grant, our organization was able to offer to membership an online shop as part of Craft NB website.

In 2023, we identified a gap and interest in not only hot an online shop space but educate the artists in how to sell their work online.  In 2024 we launched the first two cohorts of the Online sales marketing program. It's a 5-month program that will help artist build confidence and learn tools in how to market and sell their product online.

2 cohorts will become part of the Shop Craft NB online shop.
