Discover artful objects to live with, wear, and cherish! Shop Maine Craft is excited to welcome visitors to the 11th Annual Portland Fine Craft Show in its new home at Lincoln Park on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Free and open to the public, the show brings together 100 juried craft artists from Maine and across the Northeast in one of Portland’s most iconic green spaces, steps from the city’s nearby attractions.

The move to Lincoln Park marks an exciting evolution for the beloved event. Nestled between Portland’s Arts District, historic neighborhoods, restaurants, and local businesses, the park provides a vibrant and welcoming setting that encourages visitors to spend the day exploring exceptional handmade craft.

“This show has always been about creating meaningful connections between artists and the public,” said Simonne Feeney, Show Director. “Lincoln Park offers a beautiful, accessible setting that allows the show to continue promoting our craft community. We’re thrilled to begin this new chapter in the heart of Portland.”

Recognized as one of the Northeast’s premier fine craft events, it will feature work in 14 media categories, including basketry, ceramics, decorative and wearable fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, printmaking, stone, and wood. Visitors have the rare opportunity to meet the artists, see a wide range of media and techniques, and purchase handcrafted work directly from the artists.

Attendees will find unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry, functional pottery, wooden homewares, yard sculpture, and so much more. As the event is juried annually, you can expect the return of fan favorite exhibitors with a mix of new faces and media styles. It’s a rare opportunity to see many personal voices through artwork in one setting.

The show continues its mission of supporting independent artists and strengthening the region’s creative economy by connecting thousands of visitors with outstanding handmade 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.
