Shop Maine Craft proudly announces the 10th annual Portland Fine Craft Show, taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 23 in the heart of Portland’s Arts District, in the private parking area at 120 Free Street. This free, single day, outdoor event is a beloved tradition and a cornerstone of Maine’s vibrant art scene, bringing together the artists and appreciative craft enthusiasts from across the region.

This year marks a milestone tenth anniversary for the show, which will feature the exceptional work of over 100 juried fine craft artists from Maine and the greater Northeast. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore and purchase one of a kind pieces in a wide array of media including: basketry, ceramics, decorative and wearable fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, printmaking, stone and wood.

“The Portland Fine Craft Show has grown over the past decade into one of the most anticipated craft events in the region,” said show director Simonne Feeney. “It’s a true celebration of the skill, creativity and dedication of craft artists, and a chance for the public to connect directly with those behind the work.”

Each year, thousands of visitors attend the show, drawn by the opportunity to shop unique, high-quality, handmade items, meet the artists in person and support the creative economy. Being free and open to the public fosters awareness and appreciation for craft.

The Portland Fine Craft Show is presented by Shop Maine Craft, the retail arm of the statewide nonprofit Maine Crafts Association; together, the organizations partner to sustain and celebrate craft as a cornerstone of Maine’s culture and economy.
