Artisan Village

Have a passion for making one-of-a-kind treasures that deserve to be in the spotlight? We invite talented crafters to show off their handmade wonders in our Artisan Village!

At the Nisei Gallery Artisan Village, every piece tells a story, and every creation is a work of art. Share your passion, your skill, and your unique perspective with a diverse and appreciative crowd.

 

Whether you work with wood, ceramics, textiles, metals, or any other medium, the Artisan Village is the perfect place to display and sell your wares to an enthusiastic audience of art and craft enthusiasts.​

1. Sell

Upon portfolio review and acceptance, the Nisei Gallery will offer up to 75% per sale.

3. Display

The unique location of being on Fort Ritchie provides access to annual events as well as a growing community of local and traveling visitors.

2. Connect

Join fellow crafters and art lovers who value the skill and dedication it takes to create.

4. Share

Artisans will have the ability to demonstrate their creative process to curious guests through classes, workshops, and event demos.

Please Note:
Acceptance is competitive due to limited space. Each application will be reviewed, and you will be notified if accepted. The Nisei Gallery will work with you on a display, but final display is ultimately up to the discretion of the gallery owner.
