The Haddonfield Crafts and Fine Art Festival returns for its 29th year with more than 200 artists showcasing the best of fine art and craft from the region and beyond. This two-day outdoor festival, sponsored by Subaru of Cherry Hill, will be held Saturday, July 8 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday, July 9 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. along Kings Highway between Washington Avenue and Haddon Avenue, along Tanner Street to Euclid Avenue and on Kings Court.
As always, a curated selection of artists and crafters will exhibit a wide range of work, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber, paper, drawings, paintings, photography, and wearable art. What is usually a busy main artery through the center of town is transformed into a festive corridor, alive with a panorama of artists’ tents, outdoor cafés, and more.
NEW THIS YEAR: EMERGING STUDENT ARTISTS!
New this year will be an emerging artist area of local students from the ceramics program at Camden County College and the glass program at Salem Community College.
