Not only is this an adorable little shop but it has a fantastic desire to foster community and nurture new artists. Why don't more people do things like this?
The shop sells arts & crafts as well as clothing from artists in and around the community but also rents out studio space and holds seminars to help teach artists how to market themselves or perfect their techniques. It's a small space and I'm not sure what the turn over rate is on pieces for sale but they've made sure this tiny space is full of lovely little gifts and wares.
What I really like about Miracle Thieves is their stance on helping artists grow. Toronto's art scenes are disjointed and have always been more about competition than growth so it's great to see a group trying to change that.
