Agent Orange

You can’t throw a stick in this city without hitting an artiste. It’s an embarrassment of riches, yet a slog for those trying to get noticed.

Sleek gallery-cafe Zone Orange is helping bridge the gap between artists and buyers by renting shelf space to local designers. Our favourites include Velvet Moustache’s Canadiens-themed dolly ($35), a pretty spotted silk scarf by Atelier Movement. and Cokluch’s adorable recycled leather mittens ($73.50).

Orange you glad to support the arts?
