Over the years, the Goth scene and the 2SLGBTQ+ community have been tightly interwoven. For many people exploring their sexuality or individuality for the first time, the Goth scene has offered a safe and accepting haven for anyone experimenting with their outward appearance, whether that relates to make-up, fetish gear, gender presentation, or just a place to be joyfully weird without having to worry about the judgement of the mainstream.
In the lead-up to Toronto Pride, please join our 35+ vendors as we celebrate and honour all of our 2SLGBTQ+ friends and family within the scene. We’ll be offering weird and wonderful wares, both dark and colourful, in a safe and welcoming space.
Our gorgeous venue is fully accessible, with an ATM on site, and is close to parking and transit. (Mostly) kid- and dog-friendly. The bar will be open and serving a variety of beverages.
The vendor call for this event will take place from April 22nd to May 13th. For this market, we’ll be prioritizing 2SLGBTQ+ artisans, as well as allies and advocates. Please visit Toronto Dark Arts Market for more info on how to apply.
