Organizer
Uptown Emporium
In December 2020, the Flin Flon Arts Council initiated a pilot project called the “Uptown Emporium”. The focus was to create a platform for crafters and artisans to market their products. Today the Uptown Emporium is an e-commerce site, physical storefront, photography Centre, and a drop shipping warehouse.
Back to the beginning, the 40th Annual Christmas Arts and Craft Sale, a Flin Flon Arts Council fundraiser, could not provide a ‘business as usual’ event; taking the challenge to a success by creating a virtual space for local hand-crafted products. With seed money from Community Futures Greenstone and Flin Flon Credit Union, a space was rented on Flin Flon’s Main Street in November 2020.
It quickly became apparent that there was both a need and demand for this type of activity in the north. The Uptown Emporium began to facilitate services to local vendors on a scheduled basis while expanding their online presence. Website developers were contracted to restructure the website making it both consumer and vendor friendly.
