Calling All Local Artists and Crafters!
The Fife History Museum and Cultural Center would like to showcase artists and crafters who specialize in PNW-themed products for our 2025 central exhibit!!
Six artisans will be chosen to display their art at the museum throughout the 2025 season, which begins in March and runs through the end of November. All artisans will be featured in our yearly brochure and in social media announcements beginning in March, 2025.
In addition, each month one artisan will be featured at the museum on a Featured Artist Saturday. Artisans are encouraged to do demonstrations or talk about their art, and will have the opportunity to sell their art directly to visitors.
We will advertise the featured artist/crafter on our social media announcing the date of the event. Featured Artist Saturdays will occur on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday of the month between the hours 11:00-4:00, depending on the artisan availability.
Each artisan will be provided a wall space of 4ft. wide by 8ft. tall and a floor footprint of 4ft wide by 3 ft. deep to show their art or crafts.

The photos you submit do not have to be of the art that you will show at the museum, but it must be an authentic example of your style, subject matter, and expertise.
Chosen artisans will be notified by mid-November, 2024. Set up for the exhibit will be in February in time for our season opening in March. The exhibit will run until the end of November.
