It is hard to explain the feeling of opening our doors once again to our supportive community. It is fantastic! We are so grateful to everyone who has stayed the course, ordered by phone and kept new pieces coming in. We truly couldn't do this without everyone who contributes!

There is something quite magical about turning 10, and now that we have made it, we want to share a bit of the background story that has got us to this point.

Even when the doors are closed and we can't let people in, the busyness at the Salish Sea Market is happening ... everyone is doing their part to make sure that when we open the door again, things will be perfect!

Each artist has a different way of getting through tough times, and we can learn a lot from them. Here are three of the artists of the Salish Sea Market, who are willing to tell us just how things are for them!

As we continue to reach out to our artist community, we are so blessed to receive these heartfelt connections in return. Yes, we are truly all in this together!

Charles van Sandwyk is one of the pillars of the Salish Sea Market. He’s been with us since the beginning of the store, and everyday is part of the magic that is the Market.

His beautiful, whimsical and cherished work greets our visitors at the door and they are immediately drawn in to take a closer look.
