Celebration Box by Gaudreau

Celebration Box, a birdseye maple and walnut box crafted by Diane Gaudreau, has been accepted in the Unity and Diversity Exhibition at the Canadian Pavilion of the Cheoungju International Biennale in South Korea (September 23- November 1, 2009). The Cheongju Internationl Craft Biennale is the largest of many visual arts events taking place in South Korea. It has been described as the “Cannes Film Festival of Craft” with over half a million visitors attending each year. Celebration Box has also been accepted into the National Crafts Exhibition. This exhibition will travel across Canada and the US for up to the next two years. It will be hosted at the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver, BC as part of the 2010 Crafts Exhibition during the 2010 Olympic Games.

The design of the Celebration Box was inspired by the rising sun and the beauty of Confederation Bridge connecting PEI to mainland Canada.
