Since then the show has more than quadrupled in size, attracts well over 10,000 shoppers and has expanded to Edmonton. Crafters, makers and artists from all over Canada are flocking to Vancouver to become part of Make It.<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for Make It came when Jenna and Chandler wanted to create a platform for their peers to be able to sell their handmade items. \u201cWe wanted to organize a show that was fun, upbeat and acted as an incubator for up and coming artists. All our exhibitors are referred to as \u2018Makies\u2019 and it\u2019s really cool to see the tight knit community Make It has established over the years. Everyone has a blast at the show too!\u201d explains Chandler.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting the community is also part of the Make It mandate, which is why they have partnered again with the <i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Union Gospel Mission <\/span><\/i>and <i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Chimp <\/span><\/i>(Charitable Impact).
