The Barn Artisan Market was established in January 2020 (originally as the Whole Earth Market), and focuses on local vendors with handcrafted, created, and made in Alberta products. We hold one Market each month (with the exception of November), usually on the fourth Sunday from 11 am - 4 pm. We also host two Friday night markets during the summer. We have two floors, featuring 34 vendors! Admission is always free for visitors, and there's free parking as well!
What you'll find here is a fun, inviting community of artisans, creators, crafters, makers and more!

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!

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 10th of each month, and all applicants will be notified as to whether or not they are accepted.

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.
