Vancouver’s Project EveryBODY Inclusive Art Market at the Roundhouse

International Day of Persons with Disabilities is on December 3rd each year. To celebrate, Project EveryBODY is an event that connects, promotes and showcases talented persons with disabilities. The annual event is organized by Project EveryBODY, a collaboration of organizations led by the Open Door Group.

The event varies from year to year, catering to different areas of creativity and art. However, the events aren’t just about showcasing talents. They honor achievements and advocate for inclusive communities.

In 2025 the focus of the event is on local artisans with disabilities. The Inclusive Market Fair features over 40 artisan vendors from across BC. In past years there has also been a big focus on performing artists. This year, however, the focus is on the artisans and visual artists. The 2025 event presents an exceptional opportunity to do your holiday shopping, meet some amazing artists with disabilities, and support members of the local disability community all at the same time

Admission to the Event

Admission to the event is free. Attendees are encouraged to reserve a free ticket in advance through Eventbrite so organizers can have a rough idea of how many people to expect. Complimentary light refreshments are available, while supplies last. To reserve your spot, see the Eventbrite.ca website.

In addition to being a free event for the public to attend, it’s also free for the artisan vendors. They don’t have to pay anything to participate either. To get a free booth, participating artists have to be from the disability community and apply by mid-November. Space is limited, however, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Event Activities

The Inclusive Market Fair is a joyful daytime celebration of community, creativity and accessibility. More than 40 vendors from across British Columbia present original artwork, crafts, and handmade gifts created by artists and entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Beyond shopping, visitors can meet the makers, learn about their journeys, and connect with local organizations advancing disability inclusion. The atmosphere is welcoming and upbeat with a strong sense of community. There are also free snacks and drinks (while supplies last).

Previous editions of Project EveryBODY have also included evening performances of live music, comedy, dance, and short films. While no performance night is happening in 2025, future versions of the event may return to that format. Exact details are to be confirmed.

Inclusion Art Show

In addition to December’s Market Fair, the Open Door Group also supports the Inclusion Art Show & Sale, which brings together artists with disabilities and mental-health challenges. The event is held at the Roundhouse in October and features hundreds of works. The next show is already confirmed for October 2026, offering another opportunity to experience the works of local artists.
