At Branching Out Island Artisan Market, we take pride in the unique path we have traveled to bring our vibrant community of artisans and craftspeople together. From our humble beginnings at the onset of the pandemic, to the expansive market we are today, our story is one of collaboration, creativity, and a deep appreciation for showcasing the plethora of quality goods handcrafted on Prince Edward Island.

In our early days, we envisioned a space where artists could showcase their talents and connect with customers who appreciate the value of handmade creations. As we grew, so too did our commitment to connecting local artisans, promoting sustainable practices, supporting new/beginning artists as they grow their business and fostering a sense of belonging among our customers and visitors.

Every artisan at the market brings their individual story, creating a rich tapestry of creativity—whether it's through textiles, jewelry, woodwork, painting, seaglass, pottery, technology, or food. And you can read about each of their stories in our “Meet the Maker” profiles that cover our walls and are also available here.

As we continue on this journey, we remain focused on nurturing relationships within our community and expanding opportunities for our artisans. The future shines bright, and we are excited to see where our path leads, welcoming new talents and ideas while celebrating our roots.
