In today’s episode of ‘Glo Says Let's Talk Local’ podcast - Season 5 - What ART thou? Where ART thou? (A weekly Business, Entrepreneur and Arts Podcast) host Gloria Chong and her co-host Kristin Lim talk about what more art there is to visit and explore in the last few weeks of this year. Kristin has curated this list of places for you!

Episode Highlights

  • 02:11 – Gloria asks Kristin, if she ever got to imagine Van Gogh? 
  • 05:10 – ‘Polygon Gallery Shop’ is a good place to go right downstairs below the Polygon Gallery.  The gallery is showcasing a solo artist named Steven Shearer, he'd be worth going to see and there's a ‘Nemesis Coffee’ right next door.
  • 06:02 – Kristin shares that the ‘Toque Craft Fair’ is an annual craft fair organized by the Western Front which takes place from December 1st to December 5th. 
  • 08:10 – ‘Combine Art Fair’ is a mini art fair which is collaboration between some galleries including ‘Franc Gallery’ and ‘Monica Reyes Gallery’. and will have all the art projects taking place at Griffin Art Projects from December 1st to December 5th, says Kristin.
  • 09:36 – A strange Christmas market takes place during December 3rd to 5th. 
  • 11:08 – Gloria mentions that ‘Got Craft’ is a big one and is around for much longer. They're running right now, virtually till November 28th and then they will be in person from December 18th to 19th at the ‘Croatian Cultural Centre’.
  • 12:05 – ‘August Studios’ will be hosting this Pop-up Market during the first three weekends in December 4th – 5th, 11th – 12th and 18th – 19th.
  • 14:38 – Gloria shares a little more information from their (Combine Art Fair) social platforms. 

Interesting Point

  1. The unique thing about ‘Toque Craft Fair’ is that it is the annual holiday fundraiser for the Western Front and vendors who participate very generously donate 30% of sales to support Western Fronts Artistic Programs.
