About this Event
Oakville Galleries launches The Atelier: Craft Fair, a presentation and market of local and regional crafts from December 5–6, 2026. The Atelier will bring together a curated selection of artisans, designers, creative small businesses and independent makers for Oakville Galleries’ inaugural Craft Fair in our stunning Gairloch Gardens facilities.
Taking place over two days, The Atelier will offer visitors an opportunity to discover and shop for original crafts, handmade goods, independently designed products, and creative gifts in time for the winter holiday season.
We are looking for artisans whose work demonstrates quality, originality, artistic or creative merit, and thoughtful presentation. We hope to bring together a diverse range of vendors and products, with a particular interest in work that is handmade, independently designed, or produced by the applicant.
Up to 40 artisans will be selected through a juried application process. Oakville Galleries will consider the quality and originality of the work, its suitability for the market, product presentation and price range, and the overall variety and balance of artisans represented.
