Guilford Art Center Craft Expo

Come to the historic Guilford Green July 18-20 where you can view fine handmade works and meet over 170 talented artists from across the nation. Did you know Craft Expo is one of the longest-running craft shows in the US? For more than 60 years, craft artists and enthusiasts alike have made this a must-see event on their summer calendar. It's a weekend of inspiration, creativity and community - and lots of fun.

170 Artists and Makers: Shop from over 170 independent craftspeople, artists and makers of unique, high-quality work ranging from pottery and jewelry to textiles and woodwork. Each piece tells a story of passion and dedication, perfect for adding a touch of originality to your home or as a special gift.

Gourmet Food and Beverage Tasting: Delight your taste buds with an array of gourmet treats and beverages. Food artisans will be on-site, offering everything from gourmet vinegars, mushrooms, teas, nuts and syrup, and hemp products to handcrafted chocolates and fine spirits.

Live Music and Food Trucks: The Guilford town green is one of the prettiest spots in New England! Enjoy the view when you take a break from your shopping to grab a snack or meal in the shaded food truck area. Local bands and soloists will perform throughout the weekend, creating a festive and relaxing atmosphere.

Family-Friendly Activities: Bring the kids to the family art tent to create together. Art supplies and projects will be available to give little ones creative time. There will also be a kids scavenger hunt that makes exploring the entire show an adventure for everyone!

Support for the Arts Community: Craft Expo is the Center's most important fundraising event of the entire year! Your attendance directly supports Guilford Art Center's mission of providing quality, accessible arts experiences to everyone in the community.
