CRAFT, ART & DESIGN FAIR

NEW PALTZ — The Craft, Art & Design Fair at Unison Arts in New Paltz is back, showcasing more than 25 carefully chosen local artists and designers, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7 and 8, at Unison’s new location, 9 Paradies Lane.

The 33rd annual indoor event will feature handmade jewelry, pottery, textiles, stationery, furniture and other woodworking, artworks including photography, beauty and skincare products, and a variety of other arts, crafts and design pieces.

“Visitors can explore unique booths filled with one-of-a-kind creations, perfect for holiday gifts and personal treasures,” Unison Executive Director Marielena Ferrer says.

With live demonstrations, hands-on activities, delicious treats and a grand raffle, it’s an event the whole family can enjoy, she says.

“The fair is thoughtfully organized to limit the number of artists in each category,” Ferrer says. “This keeps the selection diverse and ensures visitors enjoy high-quality, unique items.”

All ages are welcome. Unison encourages guests to support its programs with a suggested $5 donation at the door.

“We invite everyone to show some love for our local artists and designers and experience the Hudson Valley’s vibrant creativity,” Ferrer adds.

Free parking will be available at Unison and at the nearby New Paltz toll plaza New York State Thruway Park & Ride, just a short walk from Unison.

The fair is sponsored by Bailey Pottery, P&G’s Restaurant & Bar and the Unison board of directors. Sponsorships are still available.
