Studio Fair once again kicks off the Christmas artisan fair season in Prince George Nov. 3 to 5 at CN Centre.
With more than 300 local, provincial and national artisans gathering under one roof it will make shopping for those unique hand-crafted gifts so easy.
“This is a very beloved annual event that is in its 47th year and it certainly kicks off the Christmas season in Prince George,” Lisa Redpath, program manager at the Prince George & District Community Arts Council, the non-profit organization that hosts the event, said.
“If we were going to have a theme this year it would be one of gratitude. Gratitude that we’ve been in the community for 47 years, gratitude for all the amazing artists we have in our community and beyond and that we all come together, including our community groups, to host a phenomenal show.”
Discover one-of-a-kind quality, handcrafted items, delectable gourmet food, luxurious soaps and candles, unique and fashionable clothing and accessories, handcrafted home decor, first class pottery and wood craft, and heirloom quality books and toys.
“It’s about the art but it’s also about the people we represent in the community,” Redpath said. “I think there’s a certain charm and grace to it. Every year we just all come together and we celebrate what it is to create and the makers and small business people who are artists.”
Studio Fair goes Friday from 1 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 cash per person, children under 12 are free.
