For your information: about us

Ninth Wave Arts is a not-for-profit organization offering educational opportunities grounded in the remembrance and reclamation of Folk Wisdom and Folk Arts. 

You are being supported by a team of volunteers who are passionate about the work of Ninth Wave Arts.  We appreciate your offering, and we hope you appreciate our efforts.

We believe in community and the strength of diversity.
We trust spirit, the inherent wisdom of nature and the cycles of the seasons.
We celebrate the cycles of birthing, living and dying.
We honour the joy of creativity and self-expression.

Ninth Wave Arts operates on the land at Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre.  We strive to honour, collaborate, and cooperate with all beings here.  We aim to stand present and flow in cycle with each other, the land, trees and critters as our inspiration.

Question 2 of 18

We want to build relationships with artisan vendors who express folk wisdom and folk arts in their creations, in both ordinary and non-ordinary ways. Whether you are all about making things that regular folk would enjoy or you're all about old magic, seasonal inspirations, nature connections and/or wisdom of both human and more than human folk, you will likely find Ninth Wave Arts a great fit for what you create.

 

If you feel like your creations would fit our style, mission and values, please continue on!

All About Our Artisan Markets

We've been doing this a while now.
 
IT'S SIMPLE
Folks supporting folks.
We are passionate about hand crafted creations. We believe in makers and the stories that come from their hands into their craft.
 
HOW IT WORKS
All our markets are seasonal celebrations!
In addition to artisan vendors, we also have other seasonal offerings going on, to attract folks to the event!

SAMHAIN & BELTANE ARTISAN MARKETS (outdoors)
Bring your wares, table, tent and chair and set yourself up.
It costs $35 to be part of the day.
We run our outdoor markets from 11-4.
We have tea, coffee and food on hand for you.
We appreciate you with our own little handmade gift.
Our market coordinator will connect with basic logistics closer to the day of the actual market.
 
YULE & SOLSTICE ARTISAN MARKETS (indoors)
We open our whole indoor space filled up with tables of your creations  for an entire weekend
(yup - midnight madness on Saturday night).
Bring your wares ahead of time, and we'll set them up.
We run all purchases through our point of sale at a 70/30% split with vendors (70% to vendor). We'll pay you out after the weekend closes, and you can pick up your wares (or leave them with us in the boutique).
