The Kamloops Artisan Market
The Kamloops Artisan Market provides a much-needed venue for local artists and crafters to show and sell their wares in Kamloops. The Market creates a beautiful outdoor gallery showing a wide range of functional and collectible art and design items. Artists personally display and sell their own original creations. Added to the benefit of purchasing a well crafted original, one also has the opportunity to talk to the artist about how their piece was made.
Artisan Markets are growing in popularity all across British Columbia, and no wonder… the benefits of local markets are numerous. Buying local craft is not only great for local producers, it also supports our economy. This, in turn, benefits other local businesses and allows our province’s cities and towns to thrive.
Buying local craft also creates jobs and supports entrepreneurs, which supports a stronger community and local economy. Simply put, buying locally does much more than support one craftsperson whose product you’ve taken home; it has a significant ripple effect in a very positive way.
People are beginning to see the value as the craft world has experienced an infusion of new shoppers. They are drawn to the stylish, novel, abstract and even quirky. Craft Nouveau, has become a global trend for high-end, one of a kind fine art and modern craft.
