Got Craft? searching for new last-minute venue

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Vancouver’s largest independent craft fair is searching for a new home. Got Craft?, which is scheduled to take place Saturday and Sunday (April 27 and 28), is looking for a last-minute venue after a fire at the Maritime Labour Centre office (1880 Triumph Street) broke out on April 19.

      The Maritime Labour Centre was actually a new venue for the seventh annual fair. Got Craft? moved from the Royal Canadian Legion in order to accommodate more vendors. This weekend, more than 80 local designers, artists, and crafts people passionate about do-it-yourself culture are signed up to showcase their work.

      Today (April 22), event organizers notified vendors that they are looking for a new 6,800 to 7,000 square-foot venue, preferably in the Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood. The Maritime Labour Centre is scheduled to remain closed until the start of May.

      Brutal news - feel badly for the designers. Hopefully they find something!

      FYI - It's definitely not Vancouver's largest independent craft fair.
