The Hartford Artisan Showcase Returning to the CT Convention Center

From paintings to pottery and metal arts to jewelry, unique and original art abounds at the Connecticut Convention Center for the first annual Hartford Artisan Showcase. A juried event, this new and exciting show will feature original art and high-quality crafts throughout the weekend. Show hours: Saturday, November 14, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m and Sunday, November 15, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The Hartford Artisan Showcase will feature hundreds of booths showcasing the work of artists from all over New England. This new event will be a great opportunity for art collectors and those who simply enjoy art to not only purchase an original work, but also experience art through live demonstrations.

One of those demonstrations will be by local artist Shauna Shane who began her career as resident artist at Yellowstone National Park. An award-winning artist, Shane strives to share her love and celebration of the natural world with others. During the Showcase, she will start and develop paintings live, allowing the audience to see what goes into a successful painting.

Taking place the same weekend as Open Studio Hartford, the Hartford Artisan Showcase will be part of the highly anticipated citywide arts event. Open Studio Weekend features hundreds of artists of all kinds in their own working or live-in studios. The Showcase will be a featured stop on the Open Studio Self-Guided Tour allowing visitors to experience art throughout all of Hartford.

The Hartford Artisan Showcase is sponsored by The River 105.9 and Country 92.5. For additional information, please visitHartfordArtisanShowcase.com or call North East Expos, Inc. at (860) 844-8461.
