Fall Show and Sale Artist Application Process Starts Soon
Our popular Fall Show and Sale will be held the first week of November, just in time for the holiday season. Following the success of our spring show, the event has been expanded to span four days, from its opening night on Thursday, November 1, through Sunday afternoon, November 4.
Any artist can enter this juried show. Keep an eye on our website for application dates and links. Entering requires a Craft Guild membership, and completion of an online application (including uploading 3 photos of your work), Accepted artists are asked to work just three four-hour shifts through the weekend, and the Guild takes care of all marketing, payments, wrapping and packaging in return for a percentage of sales. As an organization of artists, we've learned how to make a show easy and rewarding for artists!

Fireworks Fundraiser was a Blast
Food, fun, and pyrotechnics - our Fireworks Fundraiser had it all! Attendees feasted on chicken, pork, or brisket tacos and enjoyed lounging in the shade as they waited for the fireworks to begin. Addison's Kaboom didn't disappoint, with display after display of award-winning fireworks.
Missed it? Plan to join us next year
The party was so much fun that we're already planning to do it again next year. We had such fabulous feedback from everyone who came that it appears that, in the first year in our new home, we've already started a new tradition - celebrating Independence Day at the Guild.
