This event, which is the longest-running craft show in New England, celebrates exceptional handcrafted work while supporting artists and connecting them with thousands of visitors and collectors.

Craft Expo marks its 69th year and is a summer staple for art lovers, collectors, and families alike. Its picturesque setting and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit destination. Attendees can shop for a wide range of handcrafted goods, including jewelry, ceramics, fiber arts, glass, woodwork, painting, photography, food and more.
“We’re thrilled to showcase the exceptional talent of both regional and national artists, offering something meaningful for seasoned collectors and first-time visitors alike,” said Maureen Belden, Executive Director of Guilford Art Center. “Craft Expo not only celebrates creativity and craftsmanship, but also supports working artists by connecting them directly with the public. As Guilford Art Center’s largest fundraiser, the event also plays a vital role in sustaining the educational and community programs we offer year-round.”
Additional event activities include food trucks, live music, silent auction, artist demonstrations and a family art tent.
