    2025 Recap

    The 2025 event was quite successful. The type of visitors Art Now draws are appreciators of fine art and craft, so they value the quality of the work our marketers sell. The event had 2,200 visitors over its 3.5 days, held in Regina. The average weekend sales of each marketer was $1950, which was slightly higher than 2024.

    Marketers may expect more or less sales per day depending on the products they sell and their individual market experience. We recommend marketers consider a variety offer a pricepoints for items in their booths to encourage sales. In Saskatoon this year, we will be using the positive reputation of the Saskatchewan Craft Council to draw our customers and supporters to the event.

  • Shared Booth

  • Sharing a booth with a fellow artist allows marketers to assist each other in set up, take down, and sales. Shared booths are 20 by 10 feet. Shared booth responsibilities shall be determined by the marketers and must include processing sales for each other. Only two businesses may share a single space.

  • Display & Lighting

    • The Saskatchewan Craft Council does not provide lighting for our craft market booths. Marketers are responsible for bringing their own booth lighting.

    • Marketers are also responsible for bringing their own booth signage. A professional and polished booth display is expected by all marketers at SCC events.

  • Marketer Demonstrations

  • We offer the opportunity for marketers to bring attention to their work by giving public demonstrations of craft techniques. Presentations will be held on the Saturday of the market, and each marketer that volunteers will be assigned a time slot. The SCC will provide one table and chair, and you must bring all other necessary equipment. Marketers who volunteer to host a demonstration will not be paid.
