Festival of Fine Craft

Festival of Fine Craft

WheatonArts is an internationally acclaimed arts community dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit in us all. The Festival of Fine Craft, now in its 27th year, is our premier annual event and one of the most highly-rated shows in the Mid-Atlantic region. Named one of Sunshine Artist's 200 Best for 2025, this campus-wide event continues to grow in attendance, programming, and quality overall.

Approximately 150 exhibitors, ranging from new and emerging artists to masters in their mediums, are carefully selected by a jury of WheatonArts professionals and experienced staff artists. We take pride in maintaining an artist-friendly show with a high standard of quality and are continually working toward balancing mediums, styles, and techniques. WheatonArts provides convenient day-before setup, overnight security, booth sitters, and unmatched hospitality throughout the show. Nearby hotels offer exhibitors lodging at reduced rates. Open Studios, craft demonstrations, live music, exceptional food, and various interactive activities add to the excitement, making the festival both entertaining and educational.
