At the show this year, we are asking our vendors to take inspiration from the word SUNNY and create something dazzling and beautiful to usher us into the new season! 

Makers will submit a One Of A Kind piece in their medium on the theme which will be displayed in a fun showcase onsite to greet you and give you a taste of the talent they are about to experience! 
Stop by the centre aisle display and check out these pieces. See something you like? Be sure to jot down the booth number and pay the artisan a visit! 

Featuring apparel and accessories from our artisans, the One Of A Kind Fashion Shows highlight what’s fresh and exciting in Canadian design.
