Artisan Market

Our Artisan Market is FULL for the 2024 Waldorf Faire

If you would like to receive notification about next year’s Artisan Market, please email: waldorffaire@calgarywaldorf.org

Our goal for the Artisan Market is to provide our families and friends with a place to acquire original art and quality handmade items and gifts. We also want to offer new and local artisans the opportunity to showcase and sell their works of art.

In order to ensure the integrity and originality of the Waldorf Faire each artisan must exhibit the following qualities:

· Work is original and is made by the artisan who is applying (no imported or mass-produced products)

· Work is of the highest quality and presented in an appealing way

· Work is unique, not readily available in Calgary and contributes to the overall exhibition balance

· For returning artisans, work must evolve and change

Each year we carefully accept artisans based on the criteria above and feel of the market. We place limits within the different categories of vendors accepted to ensure variety and avoid repetition.
