The music company was originally created in 2003 to self-release and manage Broken Social Scene's album You Forgot It In People, but they soon branched out to projects of the individual artists involved with the band. Currently they are releasing many other indie artists from The States such as the new Moby and Deer Tick albums. Stars, Jason Collett, Feist, Apostle of Hustle, and Valley of the Giants were among the first to put out albums on Arts & Crafts in 2003.
