Annual Festival Of Fine Art Returns To Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Ocean City’s annual Holiday Festival of Fine Art and Handicrafts comes to the Ocean City Music Pier for two weekends this month. It takes place on the weekends of Nov. 11-12 and Nov. 18-19.

More than 75 fine artists, photographers and artisans will display and sell their works from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, according to a release from Ocean City Public Information Officer Doug Bergen. Hand-crafted items of every description from Christmas trees and ceramics to American Doll clothes and jewelry will be offered.

“We require that every piece be made in America,” Show Director JoAnne Schaut said. “It must be offered by the person in the booth who created it and is on hand to answer any questions.”

A $3 admission fee benefits the Ocean City Food Cupboard, the Atlantic City Rescue Mission and aid for Puerto Rico. In 16 years, Jersey Shore Artisans Guild events have raised $364,507 for local charities, according to Schaut. For dealer information, call 609-365-2239. On show days, call 609-399-6111.
