Toronto Dark Arts Market is an in-person marketplace dedicated to all things weird and wonderful. Our artisan markets feature artists, artisans, musicians, writers, and other makers of alternative goodness.
Toronto Dark Arts Market is run by Sheryl Kirby. Involved in Toronto’s Goth and alternative scene since the late 1980s, Sheryl’s company Stained Productions has over thirty years of experience in concert and event production including Convergence 4, Hallowmas, and Toronto Indie Arts Market.
Sheryl holds certificates from George Brown College in Event Management as well as Food and Hospitality. She has run a vintage clothing store, a teeny tiny record label, a catering company, and for a decade was one of Toronto’s most respected food writers. She is also an author, artist, and artisan herself, and has vast experience with artisan markets both as a producer and a vendor.
Ground Control (1279 Queen Street West) is a Bowie-inspired lounge and dance club created by DJ Lazarus. This gorgeous space is fully accessible, has an ATM on site, and boasts both a lounge area and a large space for live performances and dance nights.
