Grammar Artisan Fair

Thank you for supporting the Arts at Grammar!
 
On Saturday, November 19, Halifax Grammar School held its second Grammar Artisan Fair. It was a wonderful celebration of the arts with over 25 vendors from within the Grammar family and beyond, student musicians, volunteers, and patrons. Thank you, all, for helping make this event a success. The fair would not have been possible without our incredibly talented artisans. Please visit the complete vendor list below. Visit their websites and follow their social channels to find out where you can find them next!

Arts, one of Grammar's four pillars, comes in many forms at the school. Visual, musical, performing, and media arts are all part of the Arts at Grammar.
