Craft + Design Artists
VisArts will host its 57th Annual Craft + Design show on November 19-21, 2021.
In July 2020, we announced the postponement of our 56th annual, in-person version of the event until June 4-6, 2021. Given the uncertainty that still surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic and state restrictions on gatherings, we’ve decided to cancel the in person show scheduled for June and continue with the Craft + Design’s traditional, November schedule.
The application deadline for artists was May 23, 2021. The Craft + Design jury will evaluate applications in May and notify selected artists by June 30, 2021.

What makes Craft + Design one of a kind is the quality of the artists who participate in our show as exhibitors year after year.
