Local art


Art by Iloveewe


Artwork can add a lot to a space. It can change the mood of a room, add some flavour, and makes a great conversation piece when friends and family stop by.

The best art to show off is well-done but not well-known.

At the Makers & Market you’ll find unique pieces of art at an affordable price.

Sometimes Artemisia Herbal brings in her dark paintings. 

Tiny Bee (formerly) Iloveewe has gorgeous prints.

True Roots Designs brings pieces of stained wood with words and sayings on them.

Big Lil' Fig Design has the cutest framed drawings.

When you buy art straight from the artist, it also makes that piece more meaningful. You know who your money is going to support. When you look at that piece on the wall you can recall the exchange you had with them. If you decide you want more, you know you can find the artist again. Or even ask them personally to do something special for you.

Brittany of Artemisia Herbal is a little reserved, but if you're nice you'll see the vegan's big heart and kind smile.

Laura was shy about selling her pieces at first and your purchase from Tiny Bee will encourage her. 

True Roots' Nicole and Marco are the sweetest couple you'll ever meet. 

Malann's smile is so welcoming and warm you'll feel like you're visiting an old friend when you stop by her table.

Each market brings new vendors, so there’s no telling what locally created art you’ll find and what amazing artists you'll meet.
