History
The CCBC, formerly the Craft's Association of British Columbia was created in recognition of a growing craft community in British Columbia by interested members of the Visual Arts Committee of the Community Arts Council of Vancouver. The first CCBC office, resource centre and exhibition space was located in the Dominion Building at the corner of Hastings and Cambie Street, downtown Vancouver. The Council continues to foster the development of craftspeople and fine craft through a variety of programs at its present location, 1386 Cartwright Street on Granville Island.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
