Welcome to In The Village on False Creek, a unique project inspired by Live@YVR and 365 Days of Dining. Over the coming months it's my mission to draw from the myriad of things that make this new community awesome in order to bring you a weekly scoop. |
Portobello West Art + Fashion Market relocated to Creekside Community Centre in the Village a few months back, and this weekend is their Summer Market!
On Saturday and Sunday from 11AM-5PM over 50 local designers and artists will be showcasing and selling their wares, a DJ will be spinning tunes in the afternoons, there'll be delicious food carts to eat at and chances to win a big basket of handmade goodies.
One of my favourite vendors is Tracey Tomtene Photography. Tracey shoots fine art photography and sells prints of images like the ones below (from her travel series).

She also takes her photos and makes one-of-a-kind jewelry out of them in a process wherein she sets tiny individual prints under domed glass which lightly magnifies the colour and clarity of the image. Conveying her love for the ocean, conservation, travel, nature, photography, surfing, art and the beauty and goodness this world constantly envelopes us in, to become wearable fine art.
