The Wilton Historical Society will host the 35th annual American Artisan Show – but with a big change! The important benefit will take place online for an entire month, from Thursday, November 5 – Thursday, December 5! Shop online at your convenience from a “by-invitation” group of makers. There is plenty of time for thoughtful gifting and shipping for the holidays. Go to www.wiltonhistorical.org to start shopping!
Every purchase will support the Wilton Historical Society, as well as the talented artisans who have hand-made wares for sale of states represented by artisans. According to Janet Foster, President of the Board of Trustees of the Wilton Historical Society, “We will really miss having the show and a festive party in our beautiful historic buildings, but this year that is just not possible. So we have worked very hard to find a new way to support these wonderful artisans who are hard-hit by a lack of fairs and shows at which to sell.
You won’t have to spend a frustrating time searching online for well-made and interesting items. The American Artisan Show has pre-selected a terrific group for you, just like our usual show.” The event is an important fundraising effort for the Wilton Historical Society, supporting the education and historic preservation mission. 20+ highly-skilled artisans from across the country will be presenting their hand-crafted contemporary and traditional furnishings and wearables in an easy to use online shopping venue. Furniture, art, pottery, fine leather goods, Nantucket-style baskets, candles, Windsor chairs, art, tavern signs, fine jewelry, photography, and much more – will be available for purchase. Every purchase benefits the Wilton Historical Society. Plus, a fabulous Silent Auction is also accessible from the same site, with a diverse selection, including vintage evening purses, art, and other surprises.
The Silent auction will run at the same time as the American Artisan Show, November 5 – December 5.
