Creativity, Connection, and Community at the Komoka Community Market by Amy Watt
Proud VP of the Kilworth- Komoka Business Association
Over the summer months of 2024, the Komoka Community Market (KCM) became a hub of creativity thanks to a vibrant arts initiative led by Amie and Steven Latta, co- founders of CXN Studio, a local arts-based business focused on connecting creativity and community.

CXN Studio facilitators, including Amie and Steven’s two children, invited market-goers of all ages to contribute to a collaborative textile blanket. Using colourful felt, glue, and bright embroidery threads, patrons created unique 6” x 6” squares that celebrated their ideas and passions. Some squares featured bold layered shapes, others showcased nature scenes, and some included meaningful words for the creator or creators. The materials used lent themselves to creativity and playfulness. The completed blanket shows the patchwork of voices that came to KCM and represents the market community’s expression through art. For the 2025 market season, KCM and CXN Studio are partnering again to bring creativity, connection, and community together through another textile project that will be even more diverse, more vibrant, and larger than the year before. Be sure to stop by this summer and add your special touch to this fun community art project!
