If you’re in Toronto, be sure to check out this exhibition which acts as a lead up to the fabulous City of Craft next weekend. Home & Away is a thematic group exhibition featuring a bunch of amazingly talented people, including goodEGG’s own Fiona Bailey, Amy Borkwood, and Sara Guindon.

Craft processes and acts of making have a way of rooting people to their surroundings.  People make or purchase craft items to enhance their domestic spaces and make themselves “at home.”  Alternately, people take comfort in craft and art making when they find themselves in unfamiliar territory or when situated in transitional spaces such as on planes and buses and in waiting rooms.  Home and Away (and In-Between) is an exhibition that strives to explore how the act of making enables us to relate to where we are.

Home and Away (and In-Between) is a thematic group exhibition of selected vendors, organizers and installation artists involved with this year’s City of Craft event.  The exhibition also includes a few invited special guests artists. Home and Away will serve as a pre-fair party as well as a public preview of the wares in store at this year’s City of Craft.
