The Giftshop

  Our Giftshop located downtown Baker street is home to a variety of items only from artists and artisans located in the East Kootenay area. With over a 100 artists selling in our store there is a vast assortment of talent and goods; Pottery, Jewelry, Paintings, Knitting, Cards and so much more! 

The Giftshop use to be home to all  Cranbrook Arts events, even kids workshops! However, since the purchase and renovation of the 1401 Artspace in 2019, The Giftshop's objective has shifted and now solely focuses on providing a home to artist consignment. If you are an artist interested in selling your work with us, scroll down the page!

  Here at Cranbrook Arts we sell on a consignment basis. Our consignment fee is 30%. But it can be lowered by volunteering 1-2 days a month at the Giftshop. Benefits of selling in the store includes exposure of your work to over 10 000 yearly visitors, as well as promotion on our social media accounts and features in our display window.  Artists can sell in the store after going through the adjudication process (insuring the goods are of sellable quality). Adjudication is done through email. Please email cdac@cranbrookarts.com the following:
