Expressions of Interest Now Open: CAN Christmas Creatives Market 2026
~A festive celebration of local creativity, art, and handmade treasures~
Creative Arts Napier is delighted to announce that expressions of interest are now open for our yearly summer market – the CAN Christmas Creatives Market.
If you’re a local artist, maker, designer, or creative entrepreneur looking to showcase and sell your work this holiday season, we’d love to hear from you. This popular annual market is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and help shoppers discover unique, handcrafted gifts in the lead-up to Christmas.
How to Apply
To register your interest, please email bookings@thecan.co.nz with a brief introduction about yourself and some details of the products you’d like to sell. Photos of your work, links to your website or social media pages are optional but appreciated.
Or better yet, drop in and chat with our team in person. We’re always happy to answer any questions.
Once you have registered your interest via email, our Bookings Team will be in touch with further information and application details.
Stall Options Available
The market will once again be held in our spacious Main Gallery, with a range of display options available, including:
- Full tables (180 x 75 cm)
- Half tables (90 x 75 cm)
- Wall display spaces (Approx. 1.5 metre wide)
We encourage participants to bring their own table where practical, as our supply is limited. If you wish to use something other than a table for your products, such as a clothing rack, select the option that best fits the size of your display.
We can’t wait to see the talent and creativity you bring to this year’s market!
Dates: 27 November 2026 – 13 January 2027 (until 4pm)
Location: Creative Arts Napier (CAN) Main Gallery | 16 Byron Street, Napier
