M(other)’s Day Market

Join Cultivate Art Commons and the Women’s Art Festival for a M(other)’s Day Market on Sunday, May 3rd from 10am – 2pm at Cultivate Art Commons (formerly Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre). This vibrant market offers a unique opportunity to support local artists and makers—come shop and celebrate creativity within our community. To make the experience inclusive for all caregivers, the market is child-friendly and features an activity station where kids can engage and have fun while adults browse. Inspired by Writer Dani McClain’s inclusive understanding of motherhood—embracing all caregivers, including gender non-conforming individuals, as those who “create, nurture, affirm, and support life”—this market invites you to honour diverse experiences of caregiving. A heartfelt thank you to Artist Claire Drummond for connecting us to Dani McClain’s foundational work. Join us in supporting local talent and celebrating the many forms of caregiving!
