About this event

Join us for a special community appreciation day at Pacific Arts Market, hosted in partnership with Neighbourhood Welcome Nanaimo. The day begins with our free product photography session from 11am–12pm (see separate event listing), designed specifically for local artists and makers who want stronger visuals for their business. After that, stay for our mix‑and‑mingle event — a relaxed, friendly gathering for customers, artists, vendors, and newcomers to Nanaimo.

Enjoy free treats, fun giveaways, welcome packs for Nanaimo newcomers, and exclusive Gallery coupons. It’s a great opportunity to develop your creative business, meet your peers, connect with customers, and chat with local artists in person.

Everyone who attends and registers with their email address will be entered into a draw for a $125 PAM Gift Card. Artists and vendors who attend both the photography session and the mix‑and‑mingle will be entered into an additional draw for $100 off their renewal or toward a new space in the
