Vancouver Pop-Up Celebrates Young Creatives with Mini Mini Market

A new initiative in Vancouver is shining a spotlight on young talent by hosting a pop-up market dedicated to creators aged six to 14. The event, named the Mini Mini Market, will take place on August 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the flagship store of Plenty located at 2803 West Broadway. This collaboration with local community art space Collage Collage aims to celebrate and support emerging artisans.

Murat Imren, CEO of Plenty, expressed enthusiasm for the event, stating, “The Mini Mini Market with Collage Collage reflects our long-standing commitment to independent artists and emerging creators, celebrating craftsmanship, individuality, and community spirit.” Imren emphasized the importance of nurturing young entrepreneurs, asserting that the market fosters connections within the local community.

The Mini Mini Market will showcase a diverse array of handmade products, including clay figures, baked goods, art pieces, and jewelry, all crafted by local young artisans. The event encourages creativity, offering attendees the chance to participate in hands-on activities at a craft table set up by Collage Collage.

Founded in 1989, Plenty has established itself as a community-focused retailer, actively collaborating with local artists and brands. The company operates nine retail stores throughout Western Canada, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local talent.
