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.

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.
