The Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut announces a new call for artisans for Main Street. 

Scheduled for Saturday, September 23rd, the Danbury Artisans Street Fair,  set amidst the architecture and history of Downtown Danbury, will feature everything handmade, from original fine art to upscale crafts - and it is seeking artisans and craftsmen to participate. The Fair is presented In collaboration with CityCenter Danbury. The result: more sidewalk buzz.

“CityCenter Danbury is very excited to be a part of the first Danbury Artisans Street Fair. What better way to bring arts and culture into the community than setting up right in the heart of our Downtown on Main Street. With our co-sponsor's support, we hope to grow this Street Fair into a marquee event in the Greater Danbury area.,” notes PJ Prunty, Executive Director of CityCenter Danbury.

With its recognition on the National Register of Historic Places, Main Street's outdoor event will be, indeed, Handmade. A celebration of indie, artisanal creation, visual and performing arts, and more, the Danbury Artisans Street Fair will feature one-of-a-kind works, whether they be paintings and sculpture, clothing and jewelry, toys and ceramics.  "Our goal is to produce a show that provides each exhibitor the opportunity to show his or her talent in an attractive urban setting at its best advantage, " says Lisa Scails, Executive Director of the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut. "Not only may we foster art appreciation, but the event will strongly support the purchase of original local and regional fine art and hand-made craft, for which the Cultural Alliance's ten towns are well acknowledged."

The show is open to all applicants, regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin. All artwork and hand-made craft displayed must be one-of-a-kind, original work created by the artist. Deadline for entries has been extended to Tuesday, August 22nd.
