Get to Know the Arts Market…
In July 2011, Daniel Cohen started the Arts Market with a simple concept: give artistic entrepreneurs a permanent place to sell their wares at the most affordable rent possible. Today, the Arts Market has three locations, thousands of products, and 175 local artists, designers and creative souls!!
At 790 Queen St. East, opening day was on Wednesday, February 10th, 2016.
For the Arts Market, the transition into becoming an integral part of a growing artistic community and connecting that community with Torontonians has been incredibly rewarding.
“The Arts Market has such a refreshing atmosphere! Each and every artist booth has its own unique character. I couple spend hours looking at every little thing! It is a very welcoming place, and I love supporting local artists!” – Brandon Kennedy, Toronto Artist and Riverside Customer
