The Brandywine Valley’s premier Fine Craft Fair, this 3rd annual summer event brings thousands of loyal art patrons and festival goers to Wilmington’s Riverfront in search of exquisite contemporary and traditional crafts. In 2009, the Pennsylvania Guild will make its home in Wilmington for one weekend, but the guild would like to make lasting connections with local businesses and organizations that make Wilmington their home the other 363 days of the year. The Delaware Art Museum, Delaware by Hand, and the Biggs Museum of American Art will have representatives present during the course of the weekend and will be giving daily talks to our 170 participating craftspeople and our 5,000 attendees.
