WE ARE HONOURED & GRATEFUL!

We are incredibly honoured to announce that Authentically Curated has been selected as a recipient of the BIPOC Foundation 2026 Indigenous Community Microbursary!

This generous funding, made possible by The BIPOC Foundation, SACE Aspire Foundation, and RINSA,will support our upcoming Authentically Curated Holiday Market!

Our mission has always been about more than hosting markets. It's about creating opportunities, uplifting Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs, celebrating culture, and building meaningful connections within our communities.

As a BIPC owned business, receiving this recognition and support means so much. It allows us to continue creating spaces where First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists can share their gifts, grow their businesses, and showcase the incredible talent within our communities.

A heartfelt thank you to BIPOC Foundation, SACE Aspire Foundation, and RINSA for believing in our vision and investing in Indigenous-led initiatives.

When we invest in Indigenous entrepreneurs, we invest in the strength and future of our communities!

We can't wait to welcome everyone to the Authentically Curated Holiday Market, November 7 & 8, 2026, at the Kerby Centre in Calgary!

Curating Culture. Building Bridges.
