All Citizens, Bruno, Saskatchewan

In my Etsy travels today I passed by All Citizens out of Bruno, Saskatchewan. I was attracted by their little thumbnail (the zine they are selling online), which pulled me into this tiny rural town shop. I loved their header image (above) and after investigating further, found they had a site, allcitizens.org and a real shop (All Citizens) in a real town (Bruno, Saskatchewan). And if you look further you will undrestand their name, which compliments the building they are next to, a Senior Citizen's center. The shop is owned by Serena McCarroll and Tyler Brett, fine artists formerly from Vancouver and ECIAD grads who decided to take advantage of the open spaces Saskatchewan had to offer and the affordable real estate. Reading some press on them I found out they bought this building that they turned into a cafe and retail space for other local artists and themselves for $6,500 (which also serves as their living quarters).
