Happy International Women’s Day! 💜
Today we recognize the many women whose creativity, knowledge, and leadership help shape the craft traditions and cultural life of Unama’ki Cape Breton – pictured here are just a few of our professional members.
From experienced makers who have spent decades refining their practice to those just beginning their creative journeys, women continue to play a vital role in sustaining and growing our region’s craft sector.
In rural communities especially, women artists and makers are often at the heart of cultural life sharing skills, supporting local economies, and helping traditions thrive across generations. Their dedication, innovation, and generosity strengthen both our creative sector and our communities.
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate and thank the women whose work, vision, and resilience continue to inspire us all. Let’s take a moment to recognize and support the female artists who enrich our lives every day. 🫶
