Hosting markets is one of our favourite Sunday activities. Lazy lattes and laid-back shopping, what’s not to love! Over the years, dozens of vendors have taken over our tables to sell the best of their collections, crafts, hand made beauty products, artwork, and clothing.  It’s no secret that Toronto’s diverse community of makers has a lot to offer!

Since vendors always work so diligently to curate their collections, we figure there should be just as much care put into picking how those vendors are placed for each market.

That’s why we’re introducing GH Marketplace, the series where we curate the curators.

These monthly shopping experiences will highlight local artists and entrepreneurs, artisanal producers, creative collectives and social enterprises. Each market will be individually themed by dedicated guest curator, focusing in on a niche within our local creative community.
