Brampton (Mar 15) – The Brampton Arts Organization (BAO) is looking for up to 35 local craftspeople, creatives and arts organizations to participate in its fourth annual Summer Artist Market this July.
Held twice a year, BAO’s Artist Markets provide a unique, free opportunity for creative professionals in Brampton to showcase and sell their work, grow their audiences and connect with other local creatives. The markets attract nearly 1,000 attendees and feature live music and community programming.
New this year, 10 local creatives under the age of 18 will be able to exhibit and sell their works at the Youth Annex Market.
“Purchasing from local artists contributes to the growth and success of Brampton’s creative community,” the BAO said in a news release. “Shopping locally is an investment that helps strengthen the city’s economy and empowers entrepreneurs who work tirelessly to create art and products everyone can enjoy.”
The event welcomes vendors of all ages and across all disciplines, themes and interests. Arts organizations are also welcome to apply to showcase their skills and services at this event.
The deadline to apply is March 31 at 11:59 pm.
The market will be held at the Rose theatre on Saturday, July 20 from 11 am to 4 pm.
