CHESTER >> Connecticut River Artisans Cooperative members are hosting an open house on Sunday June 1, 1-4 p.m.
If you are a Connecticut artist looking for a new venue to showcase your work, CT River Artisans might be it. Located in Chester, a well known haven for art and a “Shopper’s Destination, the group has been established since 1980.
Stop in, enjoy the refreshments, chat with one of our artists and find out what we are all about. Learn about the advantages of a cooperative versus consigning your work to a gallery or selling at shows. Bring your portfolio, pictures or samples of your work.
The cooperative is looking for wall art, baskets, fabric work, soaps, high-end designer knit-wear, all handcrafted, art-inspired work. Items must be quality originals made by the artist, no imports, wholesalers or reps. It is not accepting jewelry or candles at this time.
Call CT River Artisans at 860-526-5575 or Gay Petruzzi Ritter at 860 578 9595 with any questions.
The cooperative is located at 4 Water Street. Visit www.ctriverartisans.org to learn more.
