The Town of Arnprior will be hosting a multi-cultural Night Market on Saturday, August 27, 2022, from 4pm to 11pm in the downtown core of Arnprior. The Night Market will feature vendors and artisans, as well as live entertainment, art installations, and more! The goal of the multi-cultural event is for attendees to become more acquainted with and celebrate the rich diversity of their neighbours and beyond.

We are actively seeking visual artists who identify as Indigenous, Black, Persons of Colour (IBPoC), persons from the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and persons with disabilities. We encourage applicants to self-identify within their submission.
