Welcome! Prepare for an exciting chapter in your art career.
WHAT’S AN ARTISAN?
An artisan is described as skilled person who makesthings by hand such as textiles, metal work and art requiring an ability to bring to life a personal vision.
ARTPOSSE AND YOU
Saskatoon is infused with tons of creative people. Most work in isolation. Few know we exist.
Many don’t know how to market their creations, or are simply not comfortable dealing with the business end of things.
HOW MUCH DO I CHARGE? WHERE CAN I EXHIBIT? WHAT IF MY ART ISN’T LIKED?
All of these are legitimate questions, but here’s afantastic bit of news…you don’t have to worry about any of that. We can help you.
