Welcome to Kootenay Artesania of the East shore.

This site is about art and hand crafted items of aesthetic value. It presents arts and crafts that originated in the east shore of the Kootenay lake.

Translation of Our Name:
Artesanía: ar·te·sa·ní·a; Feminine - Noun - Singular
Arts and crafts, craftsmanship, handicraft, handiwork, workmanship;

For our artists it is a liberal place to display their skill or sell their art. For our visitors it is a place to inquire and to look at arts and crafts that were made by locals of the east shore of the Kootenay lake.

Our uniqueness comes from our liberal approach to art and craft content on the web, while maintaining a local flavor. If art makes us grow we shall need roots. Our roots are struck here, and will be visible for those willing to visit our garden.

What makes the stuff glue together is the fact that all the art presented here comes from one community, and therefore shares a certain culture.

What community, and which culture?
The artistic community within the community of the east shore, and its culture. The culture is as expressed in the art presented herein.
