Something beautiful happens when you support local artists and craftspeople–you strengthen your community and ensure that people continue to look to the Eastern Shore as a healthy and desirable area. Keeping money in our community closes a loop and strengthens connections. All featured artisans live locally and will be on hand to share information about their work. Our local friends & sponsors help keep this event vibrant.
