Please note our Holiday Hours this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!
Coming this Saturday, October 11th - free live music at cSPACE Marda Loop, courtesy of Sarina Builds!
From 11am-1pm : Lilli Willow
Lilli Willow (Laurie Fuhr) writes songs about the things she can`t find songs about, blending songcraft and poetry with sweet vocals and dynamic acoustic guitar. From quirky originals to fun covers, Laurie is a Market favourite you won’t want to miss!
As a BONUS, Margo Smith will also be offering a FREE drop-in cyanotype printing workshop - Printing with Light: Cyanotype Bookmark Making. Participants will create their own paper cut-outs, place them on pre-prepared cyanotype paper, and expose them to UV light. Once rinsed, they can then hang their creations to dry as they explore the market and/or building, or take them home to dry.
At cSPACE Marda Loop, we also have over two dozen amazing arts and culture tenants. Each Saturday, we will be inviting them down to the market grounds to meet you and share what they do! This week, we are pleased to welcome Alberta Craft Council back to our tenant tent.
The Alberta Craft Gallery is an extension of the Alberta Craft Council - a Provincial Arts Service Organization that develops, promotes, and advocates for Craft in Alberta. They do this by supporting contemporary and heritage crafts as significant art forms that contribute to Alberta’s culture, and are invested in developing a craft sector of creative, skilled, viable, and sustainable craftspeople, studios, businesses, and networks.
So head down to cSPACE this Saturday to stock up on Farmers & Makers Market goodies, support our local artists along Artist Alley, pop inside to check out our tenant offerings and exhibitions, and take in some live tunes sponsored by Sarina Builds!
