“This partnership is a great opportunity for NWT craft artists who are ready to sell online to new markets outside the NWT”, said Johanna Tiemessen, Manager of the NWT Arts Program, ITI. “We are excited that the Manitoba Craft Council invited us to participate in their sale again this year. This online sale is a cost effective way for NWT craft artists to reach new southern audiences, and also learn about e-commerce platforms at the same time”.
Make sure to follow the NWT Arts Facebook and Instagram pages this week, as they feature the nine NWT craft artists and examples of their artwork.
