2026 Applications are closed.
Final deadline for applications was April 26.
The Cabbagetown Art & Craft Show has evolved to become an important destination for all disciplines of art and fine craft. We, along with our visitors, are looking for works that are unique, of artisanal quality and with a focus on traditional materials.
What you need for the application
Before applying, please read through the information below, as some things have changed.
Important information to note:
We accept only work designed and made by the applicant. We don’t accept works imported or purchased for resale, nor works created in part or in whole by a third party.
All applications are thoroughly reviewed by the jury, even if you have exhibited at our show before. All applications should be current and robust. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
Our independent jurors base their selections on a mix of creativity, technical skill, presentation, uniqueness, process and display. They also strive to achieve a balance of categories and a fit for Cabbagetown Art & Craft Show visitors.
All exhibitors must have a 10’ x 10’ white tent – either owned or rented. Artists who use only an uncovered table or display will not be allowed to exhibit.
Exhibitors should ensure that they have insurance coverage for the show. While we do not formally require it, we strongly suggest it.
Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status on Monday, June 1, 2026.
Please be aware that all jury decisions are final.

Professional associations, groups or guilds of which you are a member
-
All booths are assigned and communicated prior to the show. Please indicate your top two booth locations in the park. We’ll do our best to fulfill your request but can’t make any guarantees. (View Show Map)
Special requests (if any): Please indicate if you have any special requests. We’ll do our best to fulfill your request but can’t make any guarantees.(e.g. another artist you’d like to be close to or the direction you want to face).
-
6-10 images of your artwork: To create the strongest possible application, we recommend you apply with a cohesive body of work that represents your artistic style. To be clear about what is to be juried, only include one piece of artwork per image, ensuring it is in-focus and well-lit. 3-D work (eg. jewellery, sculpture, woodworking) should be photographed on a clean, neutral background. 2D artwork should be cropped to the outer edges of the artwork (no frame or background).
Your submission will not be juried unless you have submitted at least 6 images.*
We recommend you submit professional photos. If this isn’t possible, it’s worth spending time learning how to capture good, clear shots.
Images should be in jpeg/jpg format, high-resolution and no bigger than 5Mb. We cannot accept digitally altered images.
An image of your work in context: How you display your work is important for the jury and for your exhibition success, so one of your 6-10 submitted images must present your work in a booth or display setting.*
