The Maker Arcade launched in 2019 at Toronto’s Longboat Hall at a party curated by Shed Creative featuring music, live art, a pop-up record store, and “terp bar” featuring RIFF’s newest products. Additionally, TMA Mag, TMA Digital Interface, and RIFF Capsule Collection were all created as meaningful touchpoints for the Maker Arcade audience.
