Our Impact

Raised over $26,000 for a local mental health fundraiser, sold greeting cards in our shop to support CMHA Halifax/Dartmouth’s Mosaics for Mental Health program, and hosted free monthly meet-ups to promote community wellness and connection.

What began as a passion project grew into a celebrated community event, drawing thousands to support artists, musicians, nonprofits, and independent businesses. By bringing together diverse creators, the market fostered economic opportunity, creative exchange, and lasting community connections.

Created inclusive platforms that empowered hundreds of emerging artists to gain recognition, build confidence, and sell their work.

Facilitated hundreds of beginner-friendly arts workshops for adults, helping participants reconnect with creativity, support mental wellness, explore new ways of thinking, and build meaningful connections.

Our annual market persevered with resiliency through pandemic challenges, supporting marginalized artists and strengthening community. We introduced a transparency clause to ensure handmade products and prioritized accessibility, ethics, and inclusion with free resources and ongoing support.

Featured on CTV, Global News, The Coast, The Halifax Star, The Signal, AllNovaScotia, and more, we’ve shared inspiring stories that highlight the connection between creativity and mental health, celebrating local creatives, and advocating for underrepresented artists. From our humble beginnings, we remain committed to uplifting communities through the transformative power of creative collaboration.
