Over 100 artists gather in Fenelon Falls every Labour Day weekend to showcase and sell their art. Indeed, the Fenelon Falls fairgrounds fills with art - from original paintings and sculptures to photography, tin ware, glass, pottery, jewelry, and woodcarvings produced by local and provincial talent.
The Kawartha Arts Festival, first held in 1989, began as a small collection of artists who wanted to give something back to the local arts community. Attracting over 4,000 visitors annually, the Kawartha Arts Festival has become a cottage-country shopping tradition for those in search of the unique, the handcrafted, and the exquisite. Whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran, the festival allows you to experience first-hand a variety of artistic mediums in one place. You also get to meet the artists, all of whom are passionate about their work. By engaging in conversation with the artists, you can learn why they decided to pursue their respective craft or how they produce their handiwork. And who knows, you may discover leads for your own themed parties or custom projects or even be inspired to take up a new hobby. You can also find out everything you want to know about your one-of-a kind purchase.
upporting local artists is an inherently satisfying act that aligns with the values of many people.
