Artscape is now accepting submissions from those who wish to participate in the 2012 Distillery Art Market and Barns Art Market.

These two ongoing events provide an affordable opportunity for visual artists, craftspeople, and designer/makers to exhibit and sell their work in two of Toronto's most unique cultural locations: The Distillery Historic District and Artscape Wychwood Barns!

The deadline for submissions is March 16, 2012.

Distillery Art Market

The Distillery Art Market features exhibitors in outdoor spaces around The Distillery Historic District in Toronto. The Market takes place on Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 6pm from May to September.

Participation fees are only $100 +HST per weekend. Food artisans are also welcome to apply.

The Distillery District has been labelled a “must-visit” destination and attracts between 2,000-5,000 tourists and Torontonians each weekend—providing a fantastic opportunity for creators to sell their work, expand their contact list and network with other creators in a completely unique outdoor exhibition environment. Visitors to the Distillery are typically urban professionals and families with mid-high average household incomes.

Barns Art Market

The Barns Art Market features 25+ exhibitors inside Artscape Wychwood Barns, one Saturday a month from May to October. The Barns Art Market coincides with The Stop’s popular Farmers Market, which attracts hundreds of people to the area every Saturday.

Participation fees are only $50 +HST per market.

Artscape has transformed the historic Wychwood TTC streetcar repair barns located in Toronto’s St. Clair and Christie neighbourhood into the Artscape Wychwood Barns—a 60,000 sq. ft. multifaceted community centre where arts and culture, environmental leadership, heritage preservation, urban agriculture and affordable housing are brought together to foster a strong sense of community.
