Interested businesses should contact Sinikka Nogelo snogelo@yahoo.com by February 1 to secure one of the limited spaces. Online-only Partners are accepted on a rolling basis.
The Artisans also welcome the opportunity to do a “show and tell” at local gatherings. If you have a group that would like to have a display of work and hear from some of the artists about their work and learn about the tour at one of your organization’s gatherings. Meet the artists, hear about the CAA history and help share the story with your community. To request a visit by the artisans, please send a note to Jackie via info@CapeAnnArtisans.com. Please reference our program “Cape Ann Artisans in the Community.”
Many of the Artisans are open year round and welcome the chance to greet interested art lovers and community members privately by appointment. Many also hold classes.
