Arts & Crafts is an independent record label based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In January 2006 Arts & Crafts opened the Arts & Crafts Europe office in a partnership with City Slang Records. Arts & Crafts was founded by members of its flagship group Broken Social Scene and former head of promotions for Virgin Records Canada, Jeff Remedios. The Most Serene Republic was the first band unrelated to Broken Social Scene to sign to Arts & Crafts.[1] In Canada, Arts & Crafts are distributed by EMI Music Canada. Arts & Crafts is also notable for its 50/50 profit sharing between artist and label.[2]
The label opened a Mexico City branch office in late 2008.[3]
