Our free resources help makers connect and grow, while our paid membership, The Collective, provides exclusive access to advanced tools, workshops, and events. This balance allows us to support both emerging and established makers, fostering creativity and collaboration across the region.

“My first Makers North market I felt like such a mess, I had no idea what to expect or how to prepare. Tracy, Julieanne and all the incredible makers were so kind and informative, answering any questions I had to help me execute a successful show.
Through out these events I have fostered lasting friendships and business partnerships with makers I may have never met outside of this community. I am truly honoured to be a part of the Makers North Community.”
Makers North respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Robinson-Huron Treaty Territory and the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Atikameksheng Anishnaabeg. We are truly grateful that ourselves and our makers are able to create and share our work on this beautiful land. We are proud to provide space for Indigenous makers to represent their work and culture at all of our events. Miigwech.
