Today I visited the One of a Kind Show on its last day in Toronto.
Though I’m not the biggest fan of shopping, and the show spanned the Ex’s entire Direct Energy floor, it was an awesome experience. The Show presented the work of artists for sale to the public. Each artist offered unique, handmade products of their own.
Among the many, two of my favorite vendors were Petit Flaneur with its modern printed doll house, and Margi Laurin with her array of altered books.
Though the Show has ended for the year, I strongly recommend everyone to go when they have the opportunity in 2010. I have the highest regard for independent artists, most who work tirelessly to produce the products of their art and passion. Furthermore, I have even greater respect for those who actively pursue their dream, sharing their products with the world like those present at the One of a Kind Show. The Show will certainly return in 2010, while also touring around Vancouver, Chicago and New York. Check it out when you can!
