CRAFT CRAFT was hosted by STRATUS on September 6, 2025 at ANNMS Shop in Edmonton, Canada. This free event invited our community, and beyond, to enjoy an afternoon of collage making, music, and conversations. The event was held in tandem with our recent PRINT*SHOP launch earlier in 2025, and gave participants the opportunity to submit their own photos to be printed as collage materials. Other materials were sourced from the City of Edmonton Reuse Centre for free. 

We also partnered with clubclub who provided tunes to inspire and Balay Coffee who provided food and cafe beverages to feed the creative mind. This space was also shared with Isha Datar, who hosted” Letters to Myself”, a series that invited participants to write a letter to their future self, to be sent at a later date and/or anonymized to be displayed at a community exhibition. 

CRAFT CRAFT was attended by over 60 individuals and served as a much-needed creative respite from a busy schedule, work deliverables, and a bleak political landscape around us. Returning to reality can be a bit easier after a low-stakes creative challenge like this.
