Please join us on Saturday, May 23rd from 11am – 5pm for our first Book-ish Market.

We’ll be hosting 35+ authors, writers, and publishers, as well as makers of zines, graphic novels, and magazines, plus other artisans of all styles, with a focus on beautiful stationery, pens, cards, journals, and other items essential to readin’ and writin’!

Our market is (mostly) family-friendly. Our gorgeous venue is close to parking and transit, is fully accessible, and has an ATM on site. The bar will be open for customers to enjoy a beverage while they shop.

Admission is free.

Vendor call for this market runs from March 17th to March 31st.

Artists and artisans of all types of wares are welcome to apply, but preference will go to authors, indie publishers, small press, zines, and creators of other written material, as well as artisans of paper products, journals, stationery, cards, pens, etc. Bonus points for stuff that is dark, creepy and weird.
