FOR VISITORS
The Maker’s Hand is an exciting opportunity for craft-lovers to meet both award-winning and emerging artists from across the province! We look forward to welcoming you to Highline Hall, Lehigh Arena in Wellington November 8-10. Entry is $5 for unlimited access all weekend. Children under 12 enter for free.
Wheelchair accessible entrance, washrooms, and wide aisles for ease of movement. Accessible parking located 5 metres from the Highline Hall entrance.
We are hosting an All Are Welcome Hour on Sunday November 10 from 10-11:30 AM to ensure that people with sensory, mobility, and other disability-related needs can more readily engage with the arts. The lights and music will be dimmed/lowered, exhibitors will be prepared to engage with all visitors, and free entry for assistants of persons with a disability. The show will be open to the general public at this time, but it is a traditionally quieter time to visit. We thank Pina D’Intino and David Wysocki of Aequum Global Access Inc. for assisting us with this special initiative.
