Our Philosophy has always been as follows:
Since the creation of Seacoast Artisans 23 years ago, the approach to creating successful events has remained constant. A philosophy rarely employed by amateur or professional arts and crafts organizations alike, the approach has been simply to try and create events where all parties involved could reflect after a show and call it successful. The three groups it involves are the artists and craftsmen or vendors, the visiting public or customers and finally the show organizers or promoters. If anyone of these groups were largely not pleased with the success of the event then Seacoast Artisans deemed it would be unsuccessful and seek remedies to improve the results.
The need to evolve and be flexible with show planning and new creative ideas has never been more necessary than it is today to achieve the goal of a successful show.
An integral part and the ultimate goal of a quality successful show truly starts with the creativity and hard work of every vendor. Whether a food vendor, an artist or a crafter in any one of several dozen media...potters, jewelers, fabric, wood, photography, etc., the process of jurying or selecting quality vendors is paramount!
Seacoast Artisans has always also encouraged young artists who's work is not yet necessarily mature and fully evolved as helping to encourage creativity is important to the growth and culture of the arts and craft world. On That Note Please Join Us "November 12th" For Our Once A Year Event!
