With spring bringing a wave of new beginnings, the One Of A Kind Spring Show is the place to discover emerging talents and connect directly with makers. Returning to Toronto for its 50th year this spring, the show promises offerings that truly live up to its name.
The 2025 Spring Show is taking over the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place from Mar. 26 to 30, featuring the astounding work of more than 400 talented Canadian artisans. Whether you’re in search of a new painting, a high-quality knife set, Waldorf-inspired doll toys, or wanting to expand your jewellery collection, browsing through the One of a Kind Show is sure to fulfill your desires with exceptional craftsmanship and creativity.
This year, the country’s largest craft show is celebrating its 50th anniversary of putting Canadian-made products at the forefront. Since 1975, the event pushed and redefined the boundaries of creativity and community. Annually, the Spring Show gathers artists from coast-to-coast to share their work with like-minded individuals, all in an effort to exchange ideas, stories, and objects through the culture of craft. Over the years, it has become far more than just a marketplace; it’s a meaningful staple that unites both makers and owners.
Alongside the hundreds of can’t-miss vendors, the One of a Kind Show will feature an array of standout sections.
Rising Stars is yours to discover, a section where new artisans have the freedom to unleash their creativity in an open-concept space. Here, you’ll get a chance to meet and shop from upcoming and emerging small businesses.
Immerse in fun crafts and workshops first hand at the Creative Lounge, open to all art lovers over the age of eight. Classes will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis, and pre-onsite sign-ups may be required for sessions.
