The Barn Artisan Market gets part of its name from our historic location, the Shawnessy Barn, which is located at 224 Shawmeadows Rd SW in Calgary. The Barn, as it is affectionately known, is the last barn within Calgary city limits that is still useable. Originally built in 1915 by local homesteader, John McInnes, it still sits on its original location! You can read more about it here!
The Barn is a perfect venue for our Market, and we love it! It lends a certain rustic charm to every event held within its walls.
In the summer months, as you can see in the attached photo, we love to open the big barn doors and welcome our visitors! Make sure to stop in and say hi, no matter what the season!

To apply to The Barn Artisan Market, drop us a line at the link below, or at thebarnartisanmarketcalgary@gmail.com. Applications are available on the first of each month for the market(s) two months out. Example: September Market applications will be available as of July 1. Applications close on the 15th of each month, and all applicants will be notified as to whether or not they are accepted. The exception are our December Markets, which opens for applications on September 1st, and closes on the 15th, as they are the first and second week of the month instead of the fourth due to the holidays.
Our focus is local vendors, with preference to unique, hand-crafted and made in Alberta products. We do not accept MLM or Direct Sales. Our Market is curated, and we do our best each month to ensure a good fit and balance of vendors.
Our fee is $80 per space (night markets are $90), which provides you with a 6’ or 8’ table (8’ tables first come, first served at time of registration, due to a limited number), as well as paid advertising on our website and Social Media accounts, local craft and event websites, and on-street signage before and during the Market.
