Honouring Arts Vendor Registration

Welcome to our first Honouring Arts Festival—a collaboration between GoūtArt Altruism and Fiat Farm. We are thrilled to provide the community with a one-stop local experience, offering a unique and intimate connection with military, first responder and hospital practitioner artists and artisans.

This shopping initiative, designed to promote art and creativity, will also feature live performances by local bands, engaging activities, and mental health awareness for first responders.

Our friends, at Fiat Farm, have graciously offered to open up their wonderful farm as the venue, making it a unique, stress-free and picturesque setting for the event.

Mission

We are looking to include a wide variety of art forms and exhibitors to make the festival truly vibrant and diverse.

We are currently searching for artists and artisans of all kinds to participate in our Art Festival. Whether you are specialized in painting, sculpture, music, writing, photography, woodworking, jewelry-making, pottery, textiles, or any other creative medium, we would love to hear about you. Our goal is to showcase a diverse range of talents and art forms, creating a vibrant and inspiring experience for attendees.
