Arts Market
When I walked into Arts Market for the first time I thought “What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of it?” Well, I didn’t think of it; but it’s a good thing that market coordinator Daniel Cohen did. Arts Market is a space where artists can set up their own shop and display their work along with other artists and their shops all under a single roof. The great thing about walking through Arts Market is that each artist/vendor has created/designed their own space so you find yourself drawn in not only by the art but oftentimes by the unique personalities of the “micro” shops. The work available is as wide-ranging in scope as you might imagine: organic skin creams, handmade stationery, leather goods, repurposed wood, fashion, jewellery, paintings, photography, vintage, furniture.
