ArtBreakers Illustration Market Set For Olympic Village, October 14-15


Art and printed matter lovers looking to break away from the VABF crowds this weekend might want to head to False Creek/Olympic Village for the ArtBreakers Illustration Market. The one-of-a-kind event is a showcase for illustrators, designers and animators who often get overlooked by craft fairs, galleries and comic conventions.

It’s the perfect opportunity to get an early start on holiday shopping, since you’re sure to find something unique, including original prints, enamel pins, zines and more. People interested in getting to know more about these exciting creative industries can also take advantage of portfolio reviews…or just take in some live painting entertainment. See you there.

Sat, Oct. 14 10am – 6pm | Sun, Oct. 15th 10am – 5pm | Creekside Community Centre (1 Athletes Way) | Free | DETAILS
