Enterprising Women Artists

I plan to do some Christmas shopping at Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA), an initiative of Atira Women’s Resource Society on the downtown eastside. The women’s collective hand-makes knitwear and jewellery, greeting cards, accessories and other beautiful crafts. They are open 11 to 6 daily at 56 East Hastings (til 7 on Fridays). In addition to supporting women entrepreneurs, Atira provides housing, education and advocacy.
