Call for Artists

The 10th Annual Craft Festival at Fruitlands is back, September 24 & 25,  after a 2-year Covid-19 hiatus. Fruitlands Museum is seeking applications from New England Craft Artisans making original and handmade work. The festival is a two-day outdoor show featuring 48 juried artisans. Set on the picturesque grounds at Fruitlands Museum, the show’s quality of craft, museum offerings, and stunning views has made the festival a popular September destination.

Please download the Festival application here, and direct further questions to: Harriet Friedrich, hfriedrich@thetrustees.org

Artisans interested in exhibiting should submit a completed Craft Festival application, an image of your booth, and 3-5 images of relevant work to hfriedrich@thetrustees.org.
