The Marblehead Festival of Arts (MFoA) announces the very popular Artisans’ Marketplace, the 16th annual showcase of artists’ wares for sale. A highlight of the Festival, which runs this year from July 1-4, the Artisans’ Marketplace will be held outside Abbot Hall, 188 Washington Street, on Sunday, July 3 from 10 am until 5 pm; and on Monday, July 4 from 10 am until 4 pm. The Marketplace features a variety of arts and crafts works at different price levels. The Marketplace will be home to 37 artisans along with the Marblehead Arts Association, which will be conducting a silent auction of Maine lobster buoys, hand painted and embellished by local artists, to benefit its arts scholarships.
“This year’s artisans are bringing their unique works to the Festival from all over the North Shore, the New England region and as far away as Florida,” said Kiki Taron Kinney, who is co-chairing the event with Pamela Duncan. This group will provide a diverse and delightful media mix for Festival goers to enjoy.”
Among the artists’ distinctive offerings will be jewelry, quilts, glass, paintings, photography, tapestries, baskets, candles, wearable art, and pottery.
