“We are seeing a growing demand in fine arts and crafts events, ” said Anne Mulligan, artist and event coordinator. “People really want to own original work, and talk to the creator, to learn about the process. Artists and Artisans will be a venue for real people to buy good, regionally-crafted handmade work.”
