Many ARIEL members will present their work for sale at the first of four annual craft shows in 2024. Jewellery makers, painters, quilters, knitters, cardmakers, bakers, and woodworkers are just some of the people you will meet.
If you have never attended one of these before, we encourage you to arrive early. So many people arrive just after 1:30 PM (The show ends at 2 PM) surprised to learn they only half an hour to browse. Speed browsing at one of these is unsatisfactory - trust us! A really great benefit of attending one of these shows is the opportunity to meet the creators. Most of them are just like you, residents of Elliot Lake. Many spend the winter creating in preparation for the sales in spring, summer and fall. The big holiday craft show is in November - specifically in 2024, November 9. It is often the largest craft show of the year. The Arts Club sets the date so that you have plenty of time to purchase your holiday gifts. Can you use credit cards when shopping? Many of the crafters accept credit cards, so be sure to ask, if they haven't made it clear. Cash is accepted by all, if in doubt. The other two craft shows will occur on June 15 and September 14. All will be held at Collins Hall. Consider attending, if only to see, the diversity and talent of your neighbours.
