A Look Back on 10 Years of Arts&Crafts Records
With A&C celebrating their 10th anniversary this summer, it’s a time to look back on what the label managed to accomplished. Cate Kustanczy wrote this for Digital Journal:
In the ten years since its founding, Canadian music label Arts and Crafts has become one of the most important names in the music world, with names like Feist, Metric, Stars, and Broken Social Scene on its roster.
With over 150 releases by 40 artists since 2003, the label is celebrating its anniversary a number of ways; there’s a music release offering unique pairings of its most well-known artists (including Feist and Timber Timbre, Amy Millan and Dan Mangan, and Chilly Gonzalez and Stars, among many others); a fashion collaboration with designer Jeremy Laing on t-shirts designed by musicians and artists for charity; a short story contest; a photography exhibit featuring the work of longtime friend and colleague Norman Wong; an outdoor concert June 8.
