TIAC SEEKS FESTIVAL VENDORS
CLAYTON, NY (February 14, 2022) – The Thousand Islands Arts Center (TIAC) is excited to announce its second annual 1000 Islands Art & Craft & Antique Festival on Saturday, August 13th and Sunday, August 14th at Cerow Recreation Park in Clayton.
The Festival is looking for antique dealers, artisans and crafters to showcase their wares to Festival goers from throughout the North Country and beyond at the recently renovated arena.
Leslie W. Rowland, TIAC’s executive director, said: “The festival, now in its second year, is a combination of TIAC’s long-running craft and antique shows. After 55 years for the antique show and 37 years for the craft show, the Board of Trustees and staff, responding to the changing marketplace, and the challenges brought about by the pandemic, decided it was time for a change. The festival combines the best of both events and offers features including craft demonstrations, a display of one-of-a-kind handmade quilts by the St. Lawrence River Quilters, and more.”
The juried show specializes in antique furniture and collectibles, an array of handmade goods ranging from woodworking, pottery, glassworks and handmade soaps to fiber arts, paintings, jewelry, food, and more. The two-day show will also offer spinning and weaving demonstrations on Saturday.
Interested applicants should download an application at https://tiartscenter.org/festival/ and submit it as soon as possible. Early bird pricing is offered until May 31st.
