Hand2Hand Artisan Society

is a registered non-profit organization located in Edmonton, AB. We are run by a collective of 5 local artisans that have collaborated to bring the best handmade, high-quality goods to the local marketplace. We started this endeavour because each of us has a love of art and creativity! We believe in collaboration and supporting local artisans.

Our Commitment to You -  We take no pay for the labour we put into our markets - your table fees pay only for marketing and administration. We do this because we are committed to supporting our local handmade community. We believe we are all stronger by supporting one another.

WAITLIST APPLICATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE FEB 16, 2024 UNTIL MARKET DAY

Our market takes place in the Terwillegar Community Church, a spacious and accessible venue in the centre of the Terwillegar community. 

 We have room for up to 75 artists and artisans at our spring market. We are seeking artists and artisans that produce high-quality, uniquely crafted handmade goods. The greater Edmonton area has an amazingly talented art and artisan community, and we want to hear from you! We are excited to announce the addition of a Young Maker section, showcasing up and coming youth artists. 

 Our mission is to curate a market that ensures success for every participant while showcasing a wide variety of work for our patrons to shop from. Each market is mix of returning and new artisans, carefully curated from scratch to ensure success for all artisans. 

 Participation in a past market does not guarantee a spot in future markets. In the spirit of supporting our local artisan community, we are unable to accept out of province applications.

HAND2HAND UP BURSARY PROGRAM

The Hand2Hand Artisan Society was founded with a deep desire to connect and support local artists. We also recognize the challenges new and emerging artists and artisans face to get their foot in the door. With those challenges in mind we are extremely excited to introduce the new Hand2Hand Hand Up Bursary - and offer a hand up  (see what we did there) to artists facing circumstances that make getting to market difficult. 

During vendor selection we'll also be selecting 1-2 vendors to receive a hand up with their table fees. The selection process will determine need based on a number of criteria including age of your business, financial need, barriers you may face, and extraordinary circumstances.
