Vendors with non-commercial arts and crafts are invited to register for the 48th annual Bluffton Arts and Crafts Festival on Saturday, May 11. The 9 a.m.-3 p.m. street-festival style show is held on Bluffton’s charming Main Street and includes attractions for the whole family, including food, live music, and children’s activities.
"As we gear up for the show, I'm finding reminders everywhere that we have many talented artists and crafters around us," remarks Paula Scott, Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce CEO. "From our high school artists exhibiting at the Kewpee Invitational Exhibit at ArtSpace/Lima, to DIYers at Bluffton's new Board & Brush craft workshop, to the professional artists on display at Bluffton's Gallery 323, it's clear that handmade, one-of-a-kind creations are really valued by our families and friends."
Fees for booth space are $40 each through April 21; $60 each April 22-May 3; and $20 each for Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce members, deadline May 3. Vendors will find information and forms at explorebluffton.com/arts-crafts-festival. They can also call (419) 369-2985 or email [email protected]. The show limits mass-produced components, which cannot be sold separately.
