Spring Arts & Fine Craft Show at the historic Merwinsville Hotel

The Merwinsville Hotel is excited to announce their 2nd Annual Spring Arts & Fine Crafts Show that will be held on May 6th and 7th from 10am - 5pm both days. Join us as we celebrate spring and Mother’s Day.

The show will feature exceptional pieces of work from over 50 local artists and artisans representing glass, jewelry, blacksmithing, woodturning, painting, photography, pottery and more. “We’re thrilled to be offering live artist demonstrations again this year that will include woodturning, metalsmithing and more” said co-chairs of the event, Lori Meehan and Linda McMillan. “You’ll have an opportunity to watch local artists in action, ask questions and discuss their craft.” In addition to local artists, there will be locally grown delights from Meadowbrook Garden and The Village Farm Shop and Greenhouse! Just in time for Mother’s Day shopping!

“These shows not only help us showcase the amazing and diverse talent of the local artists we have in our area, but also helps us spread awareness about the Merwinsville Hotel and share it with the public,” said Jeremy Ruman, President, Board of Directors. “We’re excited to start restoration work on our third floor ballroom this year. It wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations from the public, our members and our volunteers. As a non-profit, we rely on these donations to continue our constant upkeep and restoration of this historic 1843 building.”

A $2.00 donation per person is requested. Children under 12 are free.
