Promoting Local Arts and Crafts Fairs

Community events are an opportunity to develop new relationships and strengthen ties amongst the community. They are essential for the physical and social growth of any community. Community events also help promote the location, district or neighborhood of a community.

Community affairs often include food markets, carnivals, concerts, plays and arts and craft fairs. Art and craft fairs help promote and sell local handicrafts and fine art creations of a community. Some of the activities and booths found inside art fairs include:

Local jewelry-Custom-made jewelry is jewelry whose design is taken from a culture’s aesthetic background namely its use of patterns and materials. Well-known examples of this are metalwork from South America or glass jewelry from Venice. In a local community, custom-made jewelry can be made with colored beads or cultured stones native to the area. They may be combined with semi-precious stones and cast metal necklaces, rings and earrings.

Local pottery-Local pottery consists of earthenware pots, pans and jars used for a variety of cultural purposes. Well-known examples include earthenware pots from ethnic tribes in Laos and the Philippines. Today used as interior décor, local pottery was originally used for cooking, cleaning, gathering water, bathing, gift-giving, religious ceremony and burying.

Local weaves-Hand-woven textiles are also popular wares in arts and craft fairs. They may be made with traditional weaving machines or done by hand through knitting or stitching, woven textiles are used as clothing, bedding, dinner linen, interior wall décor or even upholstery.

Promoting community arts and crafts fairs can be fast and convenient through the use of simple print materials such as flyers, brochures, posters, postcards or catalogs. There are online printers that offer professional printing services at reasonable or discounted prices for wholesale orders. Uprinting, for example, provides loans as part of its U-Community program.
