Welcome!

Thank-you for visiting the Ontario Crafts Council's SPARK blog. Over the next several days, we will be bringing you live updates from Beaver Valley Glassworks & Studio in Kimberley, Ontario.


What is SPARK?


From July 22nd to the strike of midnight on Friday July 24th, thirteen craftspeople will be locked in together at Beaver Valley Glassworks & Studio in Kimberley, Ontario. Pushing the boundaries of traditional craft practice, they will create a series of unique collaborative pieces that will be auctioned off this fall at SPARK, a fundraising event in support of the OCC.

This year’s collaboration will feature the incredible talents of the following participants:

Each unique piece created during this event will be available to bid on through a silent auction at the OCC Gallery on Saturday, September 26th and over the evening of Nuit Blanche on Saturday October 3rd through to Tuesday, October 6th. 100% of all profits will go to support the OCC's exhibition and programming schedule. But there is only one chance to place the final bid…

On October 7th, join us for the SPARK party
and final opportunity to place your bids and bring home your favorite piece from this year’s collaboration. Pick up a $55 ticket (or 2 for $100) and be part of the exclusive group to place final bids on all auction items – or join us later in the evening and kick off the after party, dancing the night away in support of your craft community for just $25. Location will be announced shortly.

Get your ticket early – they won’t last long! Visit www.craft.on.ca/spark or call 416-925-2222 ext. 229 to learn more and reserve your ticket today.

Thank you to our sponsors for their generous support of this year’s event:
