Handcrafted Artisan Goods

At Mid Island Artisans, we are passionate about supporting local artisans and the art of creating unique handcrafted items. Our talented artisans pour their heart and soul into each piece, ensuring that every item is distinctive and of the highest quality.

This group came together in 2021 to form the Nanoose Bay Artisans Collective. Its popularity led to an expansion that now includes local artisans from across the mid Island and beyond. Currently, we have over 100 members who hand craft their unique items.

We host at least 8 markets each year in various beautiful locations, encouraging our members to participate in as many as they can comfortably manage.

The membership fee is $25 per year, which helps offset costs for venues, insurance, advertising, and other small expenses. As all members are volunteers, we can keep table fees as low as possible.

We ask each member to donate some of their time to help set up markets by placing signs around our community, marking spots for vendors, printing and putting up posters advertising our markets, and assisting fellow artisans with mobility issues during setup and breakdown. There are many ways to support our local artisans.
