Williamsburg Celebrates American Craft Week

Here's a hint...don't go out of town October 1st through the 11th. If you do, you'll miss all of the fun while Williamsburg celebrates American Craft Week!

Here's a peak of all our fabulous events - Of course, the infamous Williamsburg Gallery Crawl will kick things off on the 1st of October! October 9th we will see the return of Savannah artist David Gildersleeve and the 9th and 10th ceramic artist Laurie Pollpeter Eskanazi will be our guest of honor! Both will be here to visit with our guests and showcase their favorite pieces!

Come by and see our newest landmark sculpture as our Virginia LOVE letters will be unveiled!

American Craft Week, now in its sixth year, is the annual coast-to-coast recognition of the makers, retailers, collectors and exhibitors of handmade craft. “We’re passionate about the exceptional value, enduring quality and cultural significance of handmade American craft,” says Diane Sulg, co-chair of the campaign. “In a society filled with machine-made things, we need to support the talented and dedicated people who create decorative and useful goods by hand.”

Quirks of Art supports American Craft Week because public awareness of the local crafts scene helps sustain jobs for artists and their businesses. There is a local return on that investment as the arts help promote economic development and tourism.
