The Center for Creative Arts Center (CCArts) will soon transform into a marketplace of fine handcrafted gifts, just in time for the holidays, during their 42nd Annual Artisan Show. The show, sponsored by Mallard Financial, runs from Saturday, November 18, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., and Sunday, November 19, 2023, 11 a.m.- 4 p.m.  

“It’s one of our favorite times of the year!” stated Executive Director, Melissa Paolercio. “With a wide variety of artists, you can find exceptional gifts for everyone. Everything is handmade by local artists.”.  

Forty-four artists, the majority of which are Delaware-based, will be selling handmade fine art and crafts including ceramics, jewelry, felting, turned wood, collage, leatherwork, paper crafts, painting and more. A raffle table with donated handcrafted items will help raise money for CCArts. Jay’s Fil-Am Mobile Cuisine will be onsite to provide delicious refreshments.
