Introducing Art Mart: KW’s Own Art Vending Machine
Before ALL Performances
Studio Theatre, Centre in the Square
Started by local artist Sabrina Boyer, Art Mart is a reimagined snack vending machine — but instead of chips and candy, it’s stocked with original works by 22 incredible artists from Kitchener-Waterloo and Southern Ontario.
Inside the machine, you’ll find an eclectic mix of art in a wide range of mediums: ceramics, crochet, prints, textiles, glass beads, flame-worked glass, perler beads, watercolor, and mixed media. Each purchase supports a local artist and puts a unique, handmade piece of art directly into your hands. Art Mart is thrilled to make its debut at Femme Folks Fest this year, generously supported by Pat the Dog Theatre. (…more)
