maine craft weekend
AN ANNUAL STATEWIDE TOUR OF CRAFT ARTIST OPEN STUDIOS & EVENTS
This weekend offers an opportunity for the public to explore the life and work of craft artists and businesses in Maine and for artists to connect with craft enthusiasts, collectors, and visitors behind the scenes.
Plan a route from event to event! Learn about your town’s local craft artists or discover cities and experiences altogether.
This is an educational, community-oriented, and family-friendly event for all!
Maine Craft Weekend is produced by the Maine Crafts Association, in partnership with Maine Made.
WHAT IS THE MAINE CRAFTS ASSOCIATION?

Our goal is to ensure that craft in Maine continues to thrive, supported by sustainable studio practices, strong creative businesses, and an engaged community that values handmade work.
