Hello Designers!

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for Make It! (Calgary, Vancouver & Edmonton) is in 2 weeks. If you have sent in your application we will be sending a confirmation email soon after the deadline.

What is Make It?

Make It is a retail show devoted to creating positive opportunities for artists and designers. On the flip side, Make It is a shopping event that gives enlightened shoppers the opportunity to buy unique, ethically made items from top artisans from all over Canada. The vibe at the show is funky, hip and modern…very different from you traditional granny craft show! Music is spun by top local DJs and there are always tasty eats and drinks to be enjoyed. Make It is about appreciating creativity, connecting entrepreneurs, and giving conscious shoppers an alternative to the mall. Exhibitors will be selling anything from clothing, art, home décor and accessories!
