GOTG Makers Village
The Gathering of the Guilds (GOTG) is a biennial festival celebrating the vibrancy and strength of our regional craft community. A Makers Village will feature a limited number of juried artisans displaying and selling their work, while local guilds offer live demonstrations and hands-on craft-making activities and share knowledge about classes, workshops, and membership opportunities. Together, we aim to inspire creativity, build connections, and nurture a thriving community of makers. Please apply by filling out the Vendor Application and sending it by February 15, 2025.
