At the Centre we strive to honour and uphold the Treaties of Peace and Friendship made with the Mi'kmaq by celebrating the ongoing tradition of beautiful and creative craftsmanship of the First Peoples of this land.

Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design (the Centre), has been serving the needs of the Unama'ki-Cape Breton craft sector for 53 years. The Centre's mandate is to promote, develop and support excellence in craft and design, both professional and recreational, through education and training.
