“New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival has everything from incredible oil paintings that you’ll want in your living room to that perfect piece of handcrafted jewelry, and so much more,” said Chamber President Michael Sklar. “It’s not just about what you take home — it’s about the stories, the artists behind each piece, and the community you become part of. It’s one of our largest events of the year and an annual tradition for New Hope and Bucks County.”
