The Annual Christmas Artisan Market

As the snow begins to fall and the city sparkles with festive lights, the Montreal Art Center and Museum once again opens its historic doors for one of the most heartwarming events of the year — the Annual Christmas Artisan Market.

A Celebration of Creativity and Community

For over 15 years, the Montreal Art Center and Museum — a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and supporting visual and performing artists — has been a creative home for hundreds of local talents. Our mission has always been clear: to make art accessible, foster community, and provide a space where creativity flourishes and connections grow.

The Christmas Artisan Market is a perfect reflection of those values. What began as a small gathering of resident artist vendors has blossomed into a vibrant 30-vendor market showcasing the incredible diversity of Montreal’s artistic community.

Discover Handcrafted Holiday Treasures

Visitors can explore an enchanting array of unique, handmade creations — from original seasonal décor, cozy knits, jewelry, pottery, artisanal chocolates, and sweet treats, to one-of-a-kind Christmas gift ideas that bring a personal touch to your holiday giving. Every purchase supports a local artisan, helping keep creativity alive in Montreal’s thriving cultural landscape.

More Than a Market — A Holiday Experience

Christmas is more than a holiday; it’s a feeling — and that’s exactly what you’ll find at our market. Step inside our beautifully adorned galleries and be surrounded by the warmth of festive spirit. Enjoy live holiday music, sip mulled wine or hot chocolate, and relax with classic Christmas film screenings while you browse.

Being an indoor market, it’s the perfect cozy escape from the winter chill — a place where you can truly enjoy the shopping experience, connect with local creators, and share the magic of the season with family and friends.

Plan Your Visit

Whether you’re on the hunt for meaningful gifts, delicious seasonal treats, or simply a dose of holiday joy, the Christmas Artisan Market at the Montreal Art Center and Museum is the place to be. Come for the art, stay for the atmosphere — and take a piece of the creativity home with you.
