The Maker's Circle

And perhaps the biggest benefit…

You become part of something!

The Maker’s Circle isn't just a place to hang your art. It's a place to grow as an artist, connect as a human, and build something together?

Your art deserves more than a wall. It deserves a community.

Hey Orillia! No hallmark? No problem!

At The Maker's Circle we have everything from hand made greeting cards, to jewelry, original artwork, gourmet treats, the endless possibility of gift cards and so much more!

Items to suit every gifting need!

When you buy a gift item from a local artist you are not just giving one gift, you are giving two!

Did you know that most artists don't stop creating because they lose their talent?

They stop because they feel alone.

Running an art business can be overwhelming. You're trying to figure out pricing, marketing, social media... all while wondering if your work is even good enough.

That's exactly why we created The Maker's Circle as a collaborative gallery. So you could learn and grow as a part of a creative community!

Whether you create jewellery, fibre art, woodworking, sculpture, photography, painting, or something completely unique... we want to hear from you.

Applications are open so now's the perfect time to consider whether joining The Maker's Circle could be the next step in your creative journey.

If you've been looking for a place where you don't have to figure it all out alone...

We'd love to meet you.

Comment before for the direct application link or visit The Open Calls page on our website.

Here's to another year of creating together!
