On November 20 at 10am EST, our in person event will launch at the Da Vinci Centre. This event will continue the next day Sunday, November 21 from 10am to 4pm.
At all times during our in person event, all artisans, volunteers, and patrons must comply with Ontario Covid-19 protocols including, showing proof of vaccination at the entry of the Da Vinci Centre, and utilizing social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing while inside the show.
On November 22 at 9am EST, our online event will launch at ArtisansNorthwest.ca. This event will continue to Sunday, November 28 midnight.
At all times during our online event, all artisans, volunteers, and patrons must utilize social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing while dealing with artisans, volunteers and customers. To ensure that our artisans and patrons have less contact with each other, we will release on November 18th at 4pm the program for our in person event. This digital program will have a list of the artisans, their medium and their business name along with a map of our show. You will be able to download this digital program and have it on your personal device during the in person show.
This year to celebrate a monumental anniversary, there will be interesting posts, bios, pictures, trivia, prizes and fun leading up until and during our in person and online show days.
On November 1, 2021 at 4pm we will announce what artisans are going to be present during the in person event this year. On November 10, 2021 at 4pm we will announce which artisans will be involved with our online event.
We also wanted to celebrate this anniversary by refreshing our logo and branding, which will be unveiled on November 20th on our website. This new look has been designed by a committee of our members and then voted on by our entire membership.
We are excited to share what we have been working on with you, and hope to see you on our in person event show days or our online event days!
From all of us in the meantime, stay safe, healthy, and if you are at all like all of us, have fun this fall being creative !

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT TOOK PART!
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE, LOYALTY AND SUPPORT OF ALL OUR FOLLOWERS, PATRONS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY.
SO HOW DID OUR VIRTUAL SHOW WORK?
You shopped our members work from the safety and comfort of your home. In order to do so, you joined our Facebook Group, by clicking the buttons previously above. Once you had joined the group, you would have seen posts and biographies of the members that were involved in this years show, and would have seen contests that you could have entered, and videos of our members working.
As a member of our Facebook group you would have been able to see and shop our members albums of work as soon as they were published on Saturday, November 21 & Sunday, November 22
at 10am to 4pm EST
SO HOW WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHOP?
Each member in the virtual show has created a photo album of their work available in ANW Virtual show.
Each artisan will tell you in their album description:
-who they are, what they make, the name of their studio
-how they would like to communicate with you
-how they would like to get paid for their work
-what type of delivery or pick up options they will provide
-any other information required, or possible links to their website, or social media accounts where you can see more of their work
Each Artisan will tell you in each picture's description:
- the price of the item shown
- the name, materials or size of the item
- delivery or pick up options
- how payment can be arranged
IT REALLY IS THAT EASY!

How do you celebrate a 45th Anniversary when you can't be together?
Well, for us, first we decided to celebrate our 45th next year. Then, we decided to try something new together!
So we are still creating our work, we are still chatting, meeting and inspiring each other, just virtually, and we are still going to do a show, but Virtual!
Stay tuned, follow us, and watch for some fun contests, videos and short bios of who is going to be on this wild virtual ride among our membership!
We are pretty excited to try something new to stay connected to you, while keeping safe ourselves and keeping you, our patrons and supporters safe too!
