OPPORTUNITIES

THE COLLECTION (Banishing the Styrofoam Cup Mentality)
The CABC will be moving into its new home by the aa

of the year. The $100,000 raised in the past months will
cover the cost of renovating and adding to the existing
building. However, the money will not cover the cost of
furnishing the building. At the same time, most of
CABC's members do not have a public space in which their
work 1s on permanent display.

We can turn these two negative situations into a very
positive project and generate publicity for the crafts-
people of this province at the same time!

CABG would like to start a living, functioning collection
of our members’ work that would act as an integral part
of the operations of the organization and that we can
present as a representation of our members! talents.

That means we would like to commission pieces from our
members for our collection. This would cover everything
from architectural components, such as the front door and
the kitchen sink te door hinges and coffee cups.
