PRINT Arts and Crafts Club

Our club typically holds 1-2 events per month during the academic year. One of which is usually a workshop with a smaller number of participants, more direct instructions and involves a more complex craft. The other, is a social event which involves a larger number of students, provides more creative freedom and is a simpler craft. In addition to these events, we often host collaborations with other UBC clubs to provide more specific, unique and tailored crafts! To attend our events you do not need to be a PRINT member, but memberships provide exclusive benefits!

UBC Makers Market is a biannual craft fair spanning across five days and hosted in collaboration with 4 other clubs (AMS Artelier, Visual Arts Student Association, Hatch Art Gallery and the UBC anime club). The Makers Market proudly offers a low barrier opportunity, prioritizing first-time vendors, student artisans and small business owners to showcase their handmade creations. Beyond this, UBC’s Makers Market hopes to facilitate meaningful relationships among vendors, including our executives and art-enthusiasts to help them establish themselves within the artistic community. With over 350+ vendors, Makers Market attracts thousands of students, staff and artist lovers to UBC’s Nest to celebrate the diverse artistic talents of local artisans. 

Our memberships are year round, priced at $10 for UBC students and $15 for non-UBC students. Our benefits include: free access to all of our social events, an exclusive discount for all creative workshops, discounted vendor fees for the UBC Makers Market (and other Craft Fairs events hosted by us), as well as eligibility to vote during the PRINT Arts and Crafts Club Year-End Elections. Members and non-members may attend all events, but we recognize the busy schedule of UBC students, thus participants are welcome to come to as many or as little events as they wish.

Additionally, you could become an executive member which has many perks! You'll get to help plan the club's events, make important decisions, and participate in pushing the club to new horizons and bigger accomplishments. Some other benefits include networking opportunities within the school, and with other organizations, an experience that looks great on your resume (leadership, marketing, teamwork, communication, outreach skills to name a few), and free supplies at club events!
