FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Alberta has declared a state of public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As recommended by health officials, if you choose to participate in events outside of your home, please adhere to COVID-19 health and safety measures, including proper physical distancing, mask-wearing, and frequent handwashing. Additionally, be aware that many businesses and events may be participating in the Restrictions Exemption Program and will require proof of vaccine or a negative, privately paid COVID-19 test. If you are sick, please stay home.
A first-of-its-kind gathering in Calgary this weekend aims to make supporting local more accessible through a market hosting artists, makers, vintage sellers, musicians, and more.
Tiny Roots is set to run this Sunday, November 14, and it operates entirely on a “pay-what-you-can” model. All vendors will be providing goods and services through this model, and entry to the market itself is by food donation for the Calgary Community Fridge.
The grassroots, artist-organized gathering runs from 11 am to 5 pm at the Triwood Community Association and will also feature live music and a photo booth.
The event organizers’ focus is to create an inclusive and accessible space for artists to connect with each other, clear out past stock, and be part of a creative grassroots community, without paying the high fees often required to have a space at markets.
“We’re not making a profit from the event,” organizers told Daily Hive, “[We] just really wanted to create a new opportunity for artists to gather and for folks to support local with less of a financial barrier!”
Vendors will be offering everything from handmade jewellery and paintings to mini tarot readings and self-created rotary tattoo machines. You’ll also find mixed-media artwork, plant pots, vintage toys, comics, thrifted items, resin home goods, and much, much more at Tiny Roots.
Musical performances include Ruby Swan and Kelsey Raine Music, and Adam + Alexandra Photography will be running the photo booth.
