The Cadmium Winter Art Market at Orange Hall brought together Edmonton-area artists and visitors looking for meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces. The atmosphere stayed warm and easy all day as people explored the space, took their time with the artwork, and connected with the artists who created it.
The event offered a strong selection of original art from Edmonton and Alberta creators, including:
underwater swimmer paintings
prairie and winter landscapes
bold acrylic abstracts
hand-printed linocuts
fibre and felted works
modern geometric pieces
nature-inspired prints
