The 2017 Calgary Stampede will launch the inaugural Maker Market. The Maker Market will be an upscale and accessible marketplace of locally made handcrafted goods for sale by the artists.
The variety of handmade goods we welcome are virtually unlimited! We are looking for creative applications of materials using a wide variety of techniques and finishes to produce original, artistic and appealing goods for sale. We welcome rustic, modern, urban and ethnic themes as this is not just a “Western” craft show.
ESTABLISHED AUDIENCE On average, more than 400,000 local, national and international visitors come through the BMO Centre each year over the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede.
APPLICATION PROCESS In recognition of Canada’s 150th birthday, we are welcoming makers from across Canada to apply to the first Maker Market. Interested vendors should:
Provide information about themselves, their brand/studio and contact details;
Tell us about their product and include good-quality photos; and
Confirm that they produced a significant portion of their products themselves.
