Join Arbutus Folk School for our 2026 fundraising event, Making Space.

This event will raise funds toward our facilities and equipment to support the crafts, learning, and community-building that define us.

Together we are making space: making space for creativity in our lives, making space for new passions and new friends, making space for more community members to make art. We are investing in the physical space that makes all this possible.

Featuring:

Food and Drink by Cove
Art by David Calderon
Music by Reggie Garrett
Silent Auction of local art, gift certificates, and baskets open for bidding online and in person. Online bidding opens May 11th.
