Arts Etobicoke’s first-ever Holiday Market at @cloverdalemall starts tomorrow! From December 6-8 and 13-15, we will be exhibiting over 20 local artists and artisans who make unique, handmade works including fine art, jewelry, clothing/textiles, crafts, food products, and more! Each week we will be sharing vendor profiles for our local artisans. This week’s featured vendor is @sweetandshycakes. “I discovered baking a lot later in life. I wish I could tell you about all the little stories as a little kid where I baked cookies and cupcakes for bake sales for my neighbourhood! I wish I could tell you I had a secret family recipe that was passed onto me by my grammy! I don’t. We didn’t really have a working oven in our home till the age of 17…and when I discovered what this magical oven could do, my world changed! COMPLETELY.

What started as hobby baking after devouring all the treats my sister-in-law used to make, I started to learn and discover more. I fell in love more. Every day. Every month, Every year. When you reach out to Sweet & Shy, I do a little dance – because it means I get to make one more cake, and I get to hear about one more story. My baking world is filled with stories of you, your loved ones and it absolutely is the one thing that continues to fulfill me. This is my world of baking and I invite you to come on board.”
- Shai

Come check out Sweet&Shy and many more local artists and artisans at Arts Etobicoke's Holiday Market this December 6-8 and 13-15 at Cloverdale Mall. Enjoy live music, free face painting, hot seasonal beverages, and support local artists while doing your holiday shopping this year!

Put Your Name On It!

Today we are launching our end-of-year fundraiser and we are asking you to put your name on a piece of Arts Etobicoke and help support the arts in your community!

In order to make donating fun, we will recognize our donors all over our office and programming space. That’s right - you can have your name on something for less than a million dollars! For all of 2020 you can have your name up in our space. Imagine the “Joan Smith Closet of Creativity” or the “Raj Patel Community Chair”. Just choose your item, pick your name, donate, and voila!

Help us raise funds to support free senior’s art classes, after-school programming in our Storefront Gallery, skill development and employment opportunities for at-risk youth, Saturday Art Classes for all ages, and events in your community.
