Aspotogan Arts & Crafts
Aspotogan Arts & Crafts was formed in the year 2000 with the goal of
exploring professional development, promotion and exhibition possibilities, and
mutual support for artists working in the area. Our members work in a wide
variety of arts and crafts including painting, rug hooking, wood working,
sculpture, fabric arts, pottery and photography. The association has grown
steadily over the ten years as new members join and discover a welcoming and
vibrant arts community. Aspotogan Arts & Crafts organizes annual shows that
attract a growing number of visitors, and participates in several art
exhibitions and events in the greater community; in addition, we sponsor artist
talks and workshops (open to both members and non-members). The Aspotogan area
has become a destination of choice for artists, the spectacular natural beauty
of the area being complemented by its wealth of artistic activity.
ASPOTOGAN MOSAIC: Created by members of Aspotogan Arts & Crafts in
celebration of its 10th anniversary in 2010, and donated to Ocean Swells
Community Centre in Northwest Cove.
