More interested in selling your wares? We've got room for that, too. 

We even have a place for people who are a bit of both! 

Put together a display or slideshow and give us a little talk about what you do!

Drop in, be entertained, and buy some local crafts and art!

As a member of the Aboriginal Writers Collective, she is featured in two collections, urban kool and Bone Memory, and they’ve released a live spoken word CD, Red City. Rosanna Deerchild’s first collection of poetry, this is a small northern town, is set in a mining town and explores issues of race, identity and family. She lives in Winnipeg where she works in broadcasting.
