Block Island Arts & Crafts Guild Fair – 2025 Season

The Block Island Arts & Crafts Guild Fair is a beloved seasonal event that brings together artists, makers, and visitors for a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. Held on the lawn of the Block Island Historical Society in New Shoreham, the fair takes place several times throughout the summer and has become a highlight for locals and tourists alike.

From 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, guests can browse a wide selection of handcrafted goods including original paintings, photography, jewelry, sculpture, candles, textiles, woodwork, and other one-of-a-kind items. Each piece is created by members of the Block Island Guild, many of whom are local artists and longtime island residents.

The event offers more than just shopping—it’s an opportunity to connect with the artistic community of Block Island, learn the stories behind the work, and take home something truly unique. Admission is free, and a portion of proceeds from each fair supports scholarship funds for students at the Block Island School, making every purchase a meaningful one.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable gift or just want to enjoy a relaxing day surrounded by creativity, the Block Island Arts & Crafts Guild Fair is a must-visit experience during the island’s summer season.
