Each year Winterthur presents two fabulous events that showcase handmade crafts by talented regional artisans.
Our Artisan Market in July is a summertime highlight across the garden and estate, and Holiday Market in November is the kick-off event for our annual beloved Yuletide celebration. Both draw thousands to the beautiful setting of our garden and estate in the Brandywine Valley.
We invite you to apply to be part of one or both traditions.
Signature events at Winterthur are rooted in our rich heritage, legacy, and mission. These two events connect you with an appreciative and enthusiastic audience as you present your wares across a variety of disciplines including art, textiles, ceramics, glass, woodworking, antiques, and gardening as well as artisanal and small-batch gourmet goods. Each of these categories reflect the museum’s own collection and/or history.
All interested artisans will submit a vendor application for consideration. Each show has its own deadline. Information, locations, and requirements vary. Click below for details and applications. Please review all information before applying.
