Several of the artists have exhibited for nearly four decades. Other, newer artists are returning from as far away as Florida and Arizona. The artists exhibit a variety of media from painting, printmaking, photography, and stitchery to three-dimensional artworks including sculpture, wood, metal, and fabric arts. Many jewelry makers also participate in the fair.
Musical entertainment is provided all day, on both days. The Village hosts a music fest Saturday featuring jazz, pop, and blues. On Sunday, folksinger and fest favorite, Patchouli, will perform.
