Because reading is what? FUNdamental!
Please join us on Saturday, May 23rd from 11am – 5pm for our first Book-ish Market.
We’ll be hosting 35+ authors, writers, and publishers, as well as makers of zines, graphic novels, and magazines, plus other artisans of all styles, with a focus on beautiful stationery, pens, cards, journals, and other items essential to readin’ and writin’!
Our market is (mostly) family-friendly. Our gorgeous venue is close to parking and transit, is fully accessible, and has an ATM on site. The bar will be open for customers to enjoy a beverage while they shop.
Admission is free.
More info: www.torontodarkartsmarket.com
Vendor call for this market runs from March 17th to March 31st.
Artists and artisans of all types of wares are welcome to apply, but preference will go to authors, indie publishers, small press, zines, and creators of other written material, as well as artisans of paper products, journals, stationery, cards, pens, etc. Bonus points for stuff that is dark, creepy and weird. Interested artisans are welcome to sign up for our Vendor Mailing list to receive advance notice of the vendor call.
*** Please spread the word. While we have some authors and zine-makers who vend with us regularly, this is a whole new demographic of vendor (and customer) we're looking for with this one. We'd appreciate if you share this with your literary friends.
Note that we never communicate with potential vendors or customers via Facebook. Any comments on our posts offering spots (or tickets) for this event are a scam.
