Rising Stars. In this open-concept section, space is for first-time applicants with less than 5 years of professional experience in their art or craft. We supply the carpet, you bring a freestanding structure and lighting to showcase your work. Request space by the square foot, so you get as little or as much as you need - the minimum booth size is 9 square feet. Open to all categories except food.

Booth Share. Share a 10’ x 10’ booth (or larger, if requested) with a fellow artisan to help alleviate some of the challenges of your first shows, like costs, required stock, and booth sitting. Open to individual applicants looking to be paired with a buddy, depending on availability. Applicants are eligible for Booth Share at TWO Spring and TWO Winter Shows.

Marketplace. This popular tabletop marketplace is a great place to get your start at the show, without having to build a booth, and the close quarters of this section create a great sense of community among its freshman exhibitors. Marketplace is being sponsored by The Nooks at The 2023 One Of A Kind Spring Show. This exciting partnership provides subsidized participation for all Nookies, future Nookies, or any other fellow artisans!

For more information please see the One Of A Kind Marketplace Application.

Québec créatif. In partnership with Société de développment des enterprises cuturelles (SODEC), this section highlights 12 makers from the province of Québec, and provides guidance and financial support to them throughout their first One Of A Kind Show. Read More.

Flavours. If your kitchen is your studio, then the Flavours section is for you. In this popular neighbourhood, customers find all of their favourite consumables like baked goods, jams, marinades, cocktail mixes and sweets.

Fashion District. The place to be for Canadian fashion designers! Showcase your work among the best of the best! Open to the clothing category only.
