Signatures Beaches Arts and Crafts Show is a uniquely Canadian handmade outdoor marketplace in the heart of Toronto’s Beach community that features the works of over 150 independent artists, artisans, makers, and designers. Since 1984, the show has been a beloved annual springtime tradition where visitors can meet passionate creatives in person, hear their stories, and feel their works first-hand. Join us at picturesque Kew Gardens for an unforgettable experience under the sun and shop for handmade that lasts a lifetime.

The story of Signatures begins with glass blower John Ladouceur and jeweller Casey Sadaka in the late 1970s. With limited options for professional Canadian artists, artisans and jewellers to sell their work, John and Casey saw an opportunity to make handmade goods more accessible for creators and the public. In 1980, they founded Signatures to provide quality marketplaces where artisans and buyers could come together in a shared love of handmade.
