About the Project
The Kate Craig Archive is an online resource focusing on the work of Canadian artist Kate Craig (1947–2002). Together with seven other artists, she founded the Western Front Society in 1973, and four years later initiated the Front’s artist-in-residence program which is now the Media Arts Program. This archive is a growing collection of images and texts about Craig’s life and work.
