KMAF will feature professionals as well as students works. KMAF will be a platform for all artists to share and express freely and provide the public with a large selection of mediums.
Kensington Market has long been the home and warm embrace of many artists of all sorts. From musicians, writers, painters, photographers and so on. It has also inspired people such as Frank Gerry. Growing up around the Market Gerry took his observations of fish scales and apple bushels to whole other levels.
Kensington Market is home to several indoor galleries but is also one of the greatest outdoor museums, from architecture to graffiti and from buskers to fashion. Also home to events such as The Festival of Lights and Pedestrian Sundays. 77 Nassau Street, Kensington Market, Toronto, ON https://www.facebook.com/kensingtonmarketartfair
