2013 marks the 10-year anniversary of Arts & Crafts.
To commemorate this milestone, Toronto?s renowned independent music company presents AC10, a series of events, releases and collaborations in music, fashion, photography and literature highlighting a decade of creativity and community.
First to be unveiled is the Field Trip Music & Arts Festival, held in Toronto on Saturday, June 8 at Fort York and Garrison Common.
The inaugural one-day event will feature two stages curated entirely from Arts & Crafts? diverse artist roster, co-headlined by a one-night-only return from hiatus for flagship collective Broken Social Scene and 11-time JUNO Award and 2012 Polaris Music Prize winner Feist.
?Field Trip was built around the themes of discovery and community. In addition to world-class musical performances, the festival will incorporate local art, gourmet food and unique elements of Toronto?s proud culture,? said Jeffrey Remedios, co-founder and president of Arts & Crafts. ?Field Trip is a celebration ? not just of Arts & Crafts? 10-year anniversary and our artists ? but of Toronto, of community and perhaps above all else, of the collaborative spirit.?
