The Rehoboth Art League’s 41st Annual Holiday Fair Fine Craft Show returns November 1st and 2nd from 10am to 4pm. Taking place on the art league’s campus at 12 Dodds Lane, Rehoboth Beach, the event will feature a variety of artisans exhibiting and selling their work, including jewelry, glasswork, ceramics, mixed media, and decorative and wearable fiber creations. Patrons can stroll the campus and find artists throughout the historic Homestead, Chambers and Paynter Studio, and Corkran and Tubbs galleries to select the perfect gifts for family, friends, and themselves. In the Children’s Studio, seasonal offerings from The Point Coffee House and Bake Shoppe are available all day, while the Paynters Pub will serve up Dogfish Head craft brews and more.
General admission to the event begins Saturday, November 1, with a $5 weekend entry fee per adult that goes towards supporting the league’s year-round exhibition and education programs. There is no charge for children under the age of 12. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
Along with exceptional artisans, the 41st Holiday Fair offers an online art auction and raffle. Participating artisans have generously donated artworks that are being auctioned online to support the Art League’s education and exhibition programs. Works can be viewed in the DeWitt Gallery during the Holiday Fair and on the league’s website anytime. Bids are placed online, with the auction closing at 4pm on Sunday, November 2nd.
This year’s raffle piece is a meticulously crafted, luminous woodturned lamp generously donated by woodworker Charles Paul. The lamp, which is made of pine and walnut, is valued at $350. Raffle tickets are $5 per ticket or five for $20 and may be purchased at the front desk of the Corkran Gallery through November 2. The lucky winner will be picked at random following the Holiday Fair’s closure on November 2 at 4pm. Proceeds support RAL’s year-round programs.
Holiday Fair hours are Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4pm, and is held rain or shine. For additional information about the event at the Rehoboth Art League’s historic campus, visit www.rehobothartleague.org or call 302.227.8408.
