PROJECT A - Canmore, Alberta

It's a great feeling to shop local and handmade. I was looking for a silk pillowcase for a long time and I'm so happy I got one here instead of on amazon. The store was really beautiful and the people there were very fun & kind. I can't wait to see the results for my hair, also I can't believe they have this pink, I couldn't see this colour on the brand's website at all! Thanks so much ladies!

Great little spot to purchase gorgeous pieces made by local artists. I got this beautiful 14k gold filled necklace from Ebony and Sparrow for $55. There were also beautiful pottery pieces, paintings, purses and wallets, jewelry etc. Everything is tastefully chosen, decorated and arranged. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Canmore!

I ordered 3 pieces of Aimy Van Der Linden art from Project a for delivery to Texas, USA. They all came in perfect shape, very well protected for shipment. Thank you so much. The artwork is beautiful. They are prominently hanging in my office. I will definitely visit your store next time I am in Canmore. Thanks for everything and pleasure doing business with you

Regards, Jeff

Happened upon this shop after having coffee next door. Very nice art, including handmade jewelry, embroidered clothing, pottery, etc. Cool concept, as it supports all up and coming Canadian artists. Great customer service as well; Leanne helped me and she was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about the inventory.

Wonderful shop in the heart of Canmore. Great place to buy beautiful things! Really love their jewelry and purse selection. As well they sell mineral cosmetics made in Canada. Highly recommend brow powder, looks very natural. The staff is very helpful too.

I absolutely adore this shop and struggle to go in and not buy anything. For real. It’s filled wall to wall with beautiful things made by talented artists!!! The incredible owner also works with me to help me find jewelry that works for my specific skin tone/outfits of the moment, let alone, she is a talented metal smith and can help you pick out what is ok for those with a metal sensitivity like me (I can’t wear cheap jewelry cut with nickel, etc). Omg. Don’t get me started on the shirts, candles, quilts, mugs, and art…all handmade by local artists. Thanks for taking my rent!!! (Just kidding, I budget to splurge here.)

Absolutely adore this cute and unique shop! You can tell each piece was handmade by Alberta local artists and all hand selected and brought into one convenient location. Aesthetic of the shop is top notch. Highly recommend for gifts and decorating your home!

Don’t sleep on this shop. It is a go-to for amazing Canadian contemporary handmade items. Wonderfully curated. I’m also an artist who sells my work through Project A (for the last 5 years). Great relationship with the owner who has always been professional and flexible. For shoppers, you are guaranteed to find fantastic and thoughtful gift items, it is where I recommend anyone to shop when they are looking for gifts for me 🙂 I bought a handmade Uppdo purse in 2020 as a gift to myself and have gotten a million compliments. I have also bought earrings, pillows and skincare over the years there. Lots of different price points, but expect everything to be very thoughtfully considered. They also work hard to give back to the community and are truly locally owned which is imperative to keep the mountain community of Canmore thriving.
