Holiday Artisan Fair Returns to Arts Center East
Our Annual Holiday Artisan Fair opens on November 13!

This November, Arts Center East will once again transform into a festive marketplace for its Annual Holiday Artisan Craft Fair, a much-loved seasonal event that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit.
The fair will feature more than 60 local and regional artisans, each showcasing their handmade creations — from soaps, lotions, and candles to jewelry, ceramics, textiles, wood crafts, stationery, home décor, and other unique gift items. Visitors can browse an impressive variety of works, finding everything from elegant art pieces to practical and whimsical treasures.
The event offers an inviting alternative to big-box holiday shopping, emphasizing the value of supporting independent artisans and makers. Guests are encouraged to take their time exploring, and finding that perfect gift — whether for someone special or themselves.
