You Need to Check Out This Upcoming Illustration Market Coming Soon to Main Street

The ArtBreakers Illustration Market is returning for its second year, running September 22/23 (Saturday and Sunday). This time around, the 45 local and international guest artists will be setting up shop at Heritage Hall to sell prints, pins, cards and other artsy goodies.

The lineup of vendors represent an array of professionals working in different areas of illustration (including animation, comics, design and product development) that don’t typically fit into the art and craft market mold.

So, whether you’re looking for something colourful to brighten up your mood or want to start stockpiling gifts before the holiday market hustle begins in earnest, you’ll definitely want to hit up this event and snag something truly unique.

See you there!
