An ongoing series spotlighting the community behind the culture.
Meet Mais Al-Sheikhly, the artist taking over the North Hall Gallery at STACKT market this April for its 7-year anniversary. Born in Baghdad and now based in Canada, her vibrant, emotionally driven work explores identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience.
STACKT market continues to champion Toronto’s next generation of entrepreneurs through STACKTˣ, our program designed to give emerging brands the space to grow, connect with community, and bring new ideas to life. One of the businesses currently calling us home is V’s Bone Broth, a Toronto-based brand serving small-batch, slow-simmered bone broth rooted in family tradition and local ingredients.
Yana Kaz is a Toronto-based artist and co-founder of Confit Design, a studio specializing in brand-driven interior design for the hospitality industry. Her work bridges art, technology, and spatial storytelling – translating AI-generated floral imagery into tactile, large-scale paintings that explore authorship, authenticity, and connection.
If you’re exploring STACKT market Toronto and wondering where to eat, the scent of fresh pasta will likely lead you straight to Sundays Pasta Lab.
