This will be the last Block Island Arts and Crafts Guild of the year. This Block Island Arts and Crafts Guild will join the last Farmers Market.
There’s something about an island that attracts artists and craftspeople, and Block Island is no different. Maybe it’s the quality of the light and maybe it’s the more laid-back lifestyle, but the charms of the island find expression in the works created here.
If you’d like to take home an artistic reminder of beautiful Block Island, one of the best spots to browse and buy takes place outside of the Block Island Historical Society. From 9 am to 1 pm, the lawn becomes a showplace and marketplace for members of the Block Island Arts and Crafts Guild. Choose among paintings, photographs, sculpture, jewelry, fabric arts, candles, and more. All of the items are handmade by local artists and would make a perfect keepsake for yourself or a gift for the folks back home.
