The Alt Market
The Alt Market is a curated art market filled with peculiar and unconventional artisans. The Alt Market hosts four seasonal events in Salmon Arm, BC and will begin a limited pop-up series in 2026, including cities like Kelowna and Revelstoke, BC.
Mission:
To collaboratively build a community space where alternative artists feel empowered to come as they are and express themselves through alternative and unconventional artistic avenues, free of judgment.
The Alt Market stands with artists who feel marginalized by societal “norms” and works to highlight under represented artists while supporting our local community by means of spreading awareness, collaborations, cross-promotion and fundraising/donations.
Next Market: The Alt Market Kelowna Edition
Saturday, August 8th, 11-4, Rotary Centre for Arts, Kelowna, BC
Other Upcoming 2026 Markets:
