Located in the St. Catharines Factory Outlet Flea Market, NAC opened this gallery in an effort to reach new audiences. Open every Sunday, approximately 2500 patrons visit the market weekly.
This project is largely made possible through the benevolence of Kelly Foote and Scott Sweitzer of the Factory Outlet Flea Market, who donated a booth for the project.
The 8x8 space features traditional two-dimensional and video artwork, offering an intimate yet dynamic viewing experience.

“SORRY” can’t make it all right… but “SORRY” can help make it alright…
Here’s a space to imagine what it might feel like, if you got the apology you needed,
or spoke the words you longed to give for wrongs done, or misunderstandings that bubbled up and took root.

Traditional two-dimensional work, installations, and video work can all be accommodated in the Flea Market Gallery. Selected proposals will be exhibited for a minimum of three months. Artists must take into account that the installation, for the most part, will be presented unsupervised in a public space. Work for display must be secured and effort may be needed to deter theft. NAC will contribute to unique display costs associated with presenting in the Flea Market Gallery. NAC will also provide insurance for work on display. Artists are paid above CARFAC recommended rates as well as travel and transportation costs.
