The markets are juried to help ensure that there is a good mix of products and vendors, both new and returning, local and regional. We aim to keep each show unique and fresh. Each application is reviewed for craftsmanship, creativity, originality, type of craft, and product fit. For a detailed description of the jurying process please see the FAQ’s on the blog. Please note that all work must be original and handmade by the artist – kits, importers, or resellers are not acceptable.

Use of the walls behind your space is not permitted. Table and chairs are provided. If you have display items that need special consideration for placement in the hall (for example: a display rack that stands behind your table), you must advise us well in advance of the show. There is no access to wifi or electricity at the tables. The hall has an abundance of windows and natural light. Lighting is not an issue in the hall. We encourage everyone who applies to consider how much space that they will need. If you can rearrange your display or  make due with less space please think about applying for a smaller table. We turn away so many amazing vendors every show. We want to ensure we get as many of you in as possible!

Vendor Profile: Calistaprints







Hello Flockers! I am an artist based out of Saskatoon and San Francisco. I have recently committed to full time art-making which feels incredible! Currently, I am working on expanding my watercolour Canadian animal series to include dinosaurs and other wild animals across the globe. My process is wild and free when I work with watercolours - much like the animals I paint. If you are interested in original work or details about 'Calistaprints' products you can find me online: www.calistacooper.com and on instragram: @calistagrams. Thank you!

Vendor Profile: Calistaprints








I am an emerging artist and art teacher based in Saskatoon. My style of art is always changing but currently I am experimenting with watercolour drip-work and acrylic abstract paintings. My ‘Wild Line’ animal prints are a series of paintings and prints about real, perceived, and creative freedoms. The wild yet clean lines juxtapose the sharp instincts and unique perspectives of each of the Canadian animals featured. The animals are crafted in a way that captures the deep connection between animal, nature, and human. In 2015 I participated in two craft fairs – 'PotashCorp Fringe Theatre Festival' and 'The Black Market Market' – in which my watercolour prints were a great success. Currently my acrylic abstract work is on display at the Infiniti Saskatoon Gallery as well as Kit and Ace 'Wall Space'. Find me on my website: www.calistacooper.com or check out my instragram page: calistagrams to follow my creative and classroom endeavors.

Vendor Profile: Raene Poisson Artwork










A recent graduate from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I am a painter that enjoys experimenting with other mediums, such as silk screening and pottery. Growing up in rural Saskatchewan, the prairie landscape inspires me to work with bold, chromatic colour. My prints and chicken paintings allow me to show my sense of humour and have fun experimenting with new themes and materials. I silk screen bags, t-shirts, and have made prints and postcards from my work so that art can be shown everywhere!

You can find Raene Poisson on her website, Esty, and Instagram.

Spring Market Vendor Profile: Carole Epp of the untrained eye


I'm a mom to two silly little boys, a wife to a bike builder extraordinaire, a blogger, an artist, and a passionate believer in the value of the handmade. I make functional pottery for the wee ones and the young at heart. Each piece is unique and tells a story. I love the imagery of the children's literature i'm surrounded with daily and I aim to bring out some of that whimsy and fun in my work. More than anything I simply hope that what I do might cause someone to smile.

Not to be missed: Sandra Knoss @ Void Gallery


 
From January 3rd to February 3rd, Void is showing oil paintings by Sandra Knoss, with a reception Friday, January 25th, from 7 - 9 pm . During Void's Small Works show in November and December, we sold out of Sandra's paintings. We are excited to be bringing in these new works.

From Rock Glen, Sandra's paintings are bold, graphic depictions of Saskatchewan's landscape and wildlife. "Often the vibrancy of the prairies is washed out by its vastness. The rich colours I use in my paintings are there in the grasses, trees, flowers, sky and earth." - Sandra

Winter Wonders Artisan Profile: Crystal Klassen


I make small, affordable pieces of art that are mounted onto wood blocks for easy display and hanging- no need for framing. This year I've started to make what I call Insta-Blocs: photos I've shared via Instagram that I've chosen specially for sale based mostly on the response each photo received online. 

 

I've also branched further into home decor this year, creating 'art pillows'. I've been sewing since I was 13, and most of the sewing I've done has been based on necessity. But as we know, creativity is the daughter of necessity... so I thought this might be a practical application for my more tactile artistic pursuits. Each pillow is handcrafted out of repurposed fabric, incorporating different fabrics into the same design for a modern quilted effect. They are made as removable pre-shrunk pillow covers for easy cleaning.
