Buying original art can get expensive, but you can find pieces for as little as $30 at a Calgary art market returning next month. Supermarché de l’Art is taking over cSPACE Marda Loop on Saturday, Nov. 7, with more than 1,500 pieces of original artwork by local artists priced between $30 and $300.
The market was created to make art more accessible and give Calgarians a chance to discover local artists without the high price tags often associated with buying original artwork.
Here’s everything you need to know about the event, from what you’ll find at the market to when and where you can check it out.
What to know about Supermarché de l’Art
What is Supermarché de l’Art?
S.M.Art, a local non-profit organization focused on making art more accessible and affordable, organizes the market. The organization hosted its first market in November 2025, creating an event where people could discover and purchase artwork without the intimidation or high prices. The market is free to attend, so you can browse the artwork without paying an admission fee or registering ahead of time.
What can I find while I’m there?
According to S.M.Art, the market will feature more than 1,500 artworks from around 50 local artists, including both francophone and anglophone creatives. You can browse paintings, drawings, photographs, and illustrations featured in the event’s previous edition, with prices ranging from $30 to $300.
Rather than displaying the artwork on walls, the pieces will be arranged in boxes for you to flip through.
You’ll also have an opportunity to meet some of the artists behind the work, as S.M.Art encourages them to attend the event and connect with visitors.
