Where
does all this talent come from?
When we first opened Five Crows, over five years ago, we
started off with the work of the Five Crows only. Over five years ago, on
February 5th 2002 we had our grand opening! Friends, family and the community
were so supportive and encouraging. At the end of the evening we were looking at
empty shelves that a few hours ago were full with our work. We looked at each
other and said, “we need to bring in more artists and artisans”.
That evening , many of our friends and fellow artists and artisans were there
in support of our bold venture. Some of them were whispering in our ears, “let
me know when you start taking in other artists”. I think they knew before were
did, that we were expanding on our first day of being open!
On the last Friday of every month (except in December) the five of us meet and
jury the work of artisans that have so graciously brought their work into us.
We look at several things before accepting their work: quality of the
craftsmanship, how creative and original is the work, and how well we can
display it.
So, virtually every month, you can be assured, that there is something new and
different at Five Crows! Stop by and have a look for yourself.
What are you waiting for? We promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
