Final Deadline: Sun, May 12, 2025,11:59 pm CST

The Saskatchewan Craft Council is seeking juried SCC members to be marketers at this year's Craft Is... Fine Craft Market!

This is the second year we've hosted this market in conjunction with SaskGalleries and Art Now Fine Art Fair. This year, the 10th annual Art Now, will be held in Regina from October 2 to 5, 2025.

Early Bird Raffle

If you apply to be a marketer before end of day on Saturday, April 5, you will be entered to win your booth for free! One lucky artist will win a free 10 by 10 foot booth, valued at $390 plus tax, or have the equivalent amount put towards the value of a larger booth. This prize does not include the cost of any extra needs, such as rental tables or corner booth options. All artists who have already applied will be entered into this draw.

2024 Recap

The 2024 event was quite successful. The type of visitors Art Now draws are appreciators of fine art and craft, so they understood and valued the quality of the work our marketers sell. The event had 2,500 visitors over its 3.5 days, held in Saskatoon. The average daily sales of our marketers was $518 per day. The results were strong, especially since that was the first year of the market. In Regina this year, we will be using the positive reputation of WinterGreen Fine Craft Market in our promotional material to bring past customers to this new event.

Shared booth responsibilities shall be determined by the marketers and must include processing sales. Only two businesses may share a single space.

We offer the opportunity for marketers to bring attention to their work by giving public demonstrations of their craft. Presentations will be held Friday and Saturday of the market, and each marketer that volunteers will be assigned one day or the other. 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.

All marketer booths, whether standard or corner, come with:

• Two 3-foot side curtains OR two 8-foot side curtains
• One 8-foot background curtain
• Two chairs
• Electricity
• Wifi
• 24 hour security
