Art at the Market

The Art at the Market gallery is showing on 2 days during the summer in downtown Squamish! Art at the Market is an opportunity for Squamish area artists to show and sell their creative works to local residents and visitors. Each year we also hold a fundraiser raffle for a piece of art donated by one of our artists. The proceeds are shared by a local charitable organizations and VISUALS. The gallery will be at the Squamish Arts Council Building in the park on Cleveland Avenue and will be manned by the artists showing that day. Next door, will be the Farmer's Market. This gallery will showcase an exciting array of our groups' paintings, photography, pottery, stained glass and more. There will be a People's Choice Award Certificate presented to the artist whose art receives the most votes and a prize draw for all visitors who vote.
