Youngplace Craft and Art Fair!

Head over to the historic Youngplace building on Shaw Street for a day of creativity and community. The Youngplace Craft and Art Fair is transforming the building's hallways into a bustling gallery and market, perfectly timed with the city-wide Doors Open Toronto festivities.

What to Expect This isn't just a market; it's an immersive experience. You'll find over thirty visual artists and makers showcasing their work, with a special focus on 3D crafts like pottery, jewellery, and textiles. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just looking for a unique handmade gift, there is something for everyone. Don't miss the Toronto Potters, who will be on the first floor hosting live pottery demonstrations and hand-building sessions—a great chance to see the craft in action.

Why It Matters This year’s fair embraces the Doors Open theme of 'A World in a City,' reflecting the incredible diversity of Toronto's artistic community. It’s a fantastic opportunity to support local talent, learn about different artistic processes, and explore one of the city's most vibrant creative hubs.

Practical Info Admission is completely free. The event runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on May 23. Youngplace is located at 180 Shaw Street, right in the heart of the West Queen West neighbourhood. After you've finished browsing, you're just a short walk away from the many cafes and shops along Queen West or the green spaces of Trinity Bellwoods Park. Keep an eye on @youngplaceto for artist previews before you go.
