In its third year, the Marigold Market attracted the attention of art and craft lovers over Friday and Saturday at the Chapel Gallery in North Battleford.
Organizer Rose Stadnyk said they had 22 vendors at the art, craft and food fair.
The Marigold Market has its origins with a group of artists who work together, originally a group of potters, said Stadnyk.
"We used to have a studio, but then we lost the studio and didn't have a place to sell," she explained. Since they did some of their work at the Don Ross Centre, it made sense to use the Chapel Gallery for a sale, giving it a catchy name.
It started with pottery, she said, and then other artists asked to join in.
This annual event also has a fundraising component and at this year's sale they have given a free exhibit space to the Battleford Trade and Education Centre, which is currently fundraising for a new building. They have been working since July getting their crafts ready, said Stadnyk.
"They have a wonderful display," she said.
Of the 22 vendors, some of which are new to the sale, several are juried to be able to sell their work at Saskatchewan Craft Council and all of its sales, said Stadnyk, including Eva Scott, who has a masters degree in knitting.
Some of the items on sale for the two days were pottery, art cards, paintings, sculpture, knitting, glass art, fabric items, gourmet foods, face and body products, jewelry and even Christmas cakes.
