Against the Grain Artisan Gallery

Stepping in the unassuming door of 220 Main Street N. seems like just another shop. Then, as your eyes begin to focus, you quickly realize this isn’t any ordinary stop on Main Street. Against the Grain Artisan Gallery and Tattoo has beautiful decors lining both sides of the walls from floor to ceiling with a river of wooden art winding its way toward the far end of the shop.

The stunning wood furniture is created by local artists from Harlen Woodcraft. Functional and beautiful, the unique, live-edge furniture and art pieces are handcrafted right here in Saskatchewan using reclaimed wood that has been ethically sourced. Whether it’s a statement piece for the entryway or a gorgeous bench to boost the front yard, their works are sure to grab everyone’s attention. The gallery space showcases the works of Harlen Woodcraft, Enchantress Beauty, Emdee Elle Custom Designs, Low Glo Candle Co, Precious Light Alchemy, The Witching Hour, and many more!

Against the Grain created an inclusive art gallery/ marketplace for local creators to have their work more accessible to the public. It is important to support all local artists by bringing together all mediums of art while achieving the ultimate goal of selling their work. Connecting the creators with art enthusiasts adds to our downtown core’s aesthetic with a fresh new excitement while shopping locally.

There are treasures in every corner and as you pe- ruse the shop you find the walls burst alive with colour and design created by passionate artists. The gallery space showcases the works of Emma’s Corner, Emdee Elle Design, New Moon Apothecary, Brownlee Ironwork, Beechy Co, Metrics of Muses, Enchantress Beauty, Replated and Rustic Revival Metal Works with many more.

They carry unique and functional indoor and outdoor furniture, decorative housewares, yard art & birdhouses, bath/body products, jewellery, permanent wearable art for the body and art for the home. Statues of every stature from wood-carved Pegasus to tiny nesting birds there is something for every spot in your home and gifts for every occasion.
