we are a cooperative…
We have been a cooperative of Kootenay artists for 27 years. We operate by the principles of the cooperative movement and as such we are a democratic organization controlled by our members, who actively participate in production, setting policies, and making decisions on the principle of one member one vote. Craft Connection members share in the operation of the store through staffing, advertising, marketing, and display. Co-ops help build stronger communities. Since most co-ops are community and regionally based, investment in, and surplus revenue from, the co-op stay within the local community. Every dollar invested in a local co-op, has a multiplier effect of five dollars for the community.

Along with our members we have over 70 other artists that sell on a consignment basis. If you are interested in becoming a member or wish to sell your work as a consignee contact us for more information or download our consignee application form by clicking submissions..
