Amuse Art & Craft Fair
Returns to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley
(Winchester, VA) Amuse Art & Craft Fair is excited to announce its return to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley on Memorial Day Weekend, May 26 and 27 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. In its third year, Amuse will showcase 50 jury selected artists and crafters, exhibit original sculptural and installation art, and feature live artist demonstrations such as paper making, woodworking, and glass blowing. Visitors can shop while enjoying tunes provided by a live DJ, have a bite from a local food truck, or sip some regionally crafted wine or beer. Amuse will be held outdoors on the beautiful MSV grounds under tent, and is family-friendly and FREE!
About Amuse Art & Craft Fair
Amuse was founded in 2015 by art and craft enthusiasts Jaimianne Amicucci (The Gray Gallery and former executive director of Shenandoah Arts Council, 2015-16), Kim Johnston (Winchester Art Market and Murals) and Kerry Stavely (Tin Top Art & Handmade). The inaugural Amuse was held on May 21, 2016 at The Bright Center and on the Old Town Pedestrian Mall in Winchester, VA. It showcased twenty-eight artists and crafters and attracted several hundred visitors.
Following the first event, organizers were approached by Museum of the Shenandoah Valley Exhibitions Director, Corwyn Garman about a possible move to their grounds. As they say, the rest is history and the event moved to MSV in 2017. The fair was held in front of the Glen Burnie house on Memorial Day weekend, featured almost fifty artists/crafters and attracted about 2,000 visitors despite the rain! After this success it was a no-brainer to partner with MSV again for the third annual Amuse. The organizers continue to work year-round to grow the event, partnering with other community organizations and businesses to bring a unique experience which combines a handmade market with an art fair. The partners hope their passion for contemporary art and craft rubs off on attendees and that they can continue to nurture and grow Winchester's arts community for many years to come.
