Vendor call: Story Planet seeks out of this world handmade goods

STORY PLANET is a non-profit storymaking centre dedicated to helping young people discover and develop their voices. Their innovative programs ignite students’ imaginations, fuel their curiosity and equip them with the tools they need to launch their stories. Their retail store, with an outer space and extraterrestrial theme, helps to fund their creative writing and arts programs for neighbourhood kids. 

They are currently revamping their retail space and seeking to work with handmade vendors who can supply items which work with their theme (like aliens, rockets, of space-themed wares), who might like to rent space in the store or sell on consignment with the fee going back into their kids writing and arts programming. They are especially keen on finding local vendors since they are all about helping the community. If you're interested, please contact Mahira Karim!

STORY PLANET is in the Bloor and Dufferin neighbourhood:

Charity Craft Supply Swap at ArtsMarket on College

T.E.S.T.'s own ArtsMarket will be hosting a Charity Craft Supply Swap at their 846 College Street location on  February 21st from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The premise of the event is akin to your regular clothing swap, however on this occasion we'll be swapping crafting supplies. In lieu of asking for a financial participation fee we're asking attendees to bring a donation for PARC (Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre).

They're keen to bring in some much needed supplies for a great, much needed community resource at PARC (and any left over crafting goods will be donated to Story Planet).

If you have any questions about the event, feel free to email steph@artsmarket.ca  and follow the event page here.
