As winter is just around the corner, we at the Grove Gallery are preparing for our annual Mistletoe Market at Harbour Quay.
Held from Nov. 5 to Dec. 21, Mistletoe Market at the Quay will come alive with local art and festive cheer, especially during the Harbour Quay Light-Up, hosted by the Community Arts Council of the Alberni Valley.
The Light-Up is where visitors can count down to the lighting of the large Harbour Quay Christmas tree, while also enjoying live music by local choirs with hot chocolate and apple cider.
The Mistletoe Market offers more than just a sales venue—it's a community gathering place where local creatives can showcase their talents and engage with art lovers from all walks of life. We're currently calling all vendors, artists, crafters and artisans to join us and sell their work.
One of the unique aspects of the Mistletoe Market is our commitment to supporting our artists. You bring your work, and we handle the sales, allowing you more time to spend the holidays making more art! No need for a vendor's licence either: as a consignor, we sell your work for you.
Interested artists should connect with the Grove Gallery ASAP - so as to submit their inventory by Saturday, Oct. 26.
As preparations for the Mistletoe Market continue, the Grove Gallery is dedicated to creating a supportive environment for artists and a delightful shopping experience for visitors. This year, as the gallery and Harbour Quay light up together, the holiday spirit promises to be more enchanting than ever.
Join us in making this Mistletoe Market the most memorable yet! To get involved, contact the Grove Gallery at 250-724-3412 or email info@alberniarts.com.
