logo   Boundary Artisan Association

located in the Boundary area of BC, Canada

Our members are professional artisans and artists who live and create their work in the Boundary area of British Columbia -- located East of Oosoyoos and West of Castlegar along Hwy. 3.  We take in the Communities of Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Midway and Rock Creek.  

Each distinctive handcrafted piece has a story. 
Come talk to our artisans and hear the stories of their work, touch the quality worksmanship of our material culture
and let the beauty of their work touch your soul.


Are you visiting our area and would like to see artisans at work?  Do you love one of a kind, hand crafted, fine craft work?  Most of our members have studios and are open by appointment.  Don't hesitate to contact them personally and arrange to view their beautiful and skilled work, made by hand in the Boundary.  Support independent artisans.

The Boundary Artisan Association is a not-for-profit association created to help our members display and sell their original work.  We connect the art lover with the artist and the artist with the public.  All members of the Association have agreed to display only their own original work and only that work that has been handmade by them in the Boundary Area of BC.

Please contact our members directly to view their work or dialogue with them about their process.


No work is sold by the Boundary Artisan Assocation or through this website.  You must contact the individual artist or artisan to view their work or make a purchase.
