EVENT DESCRIPTION

Enjoy the splendor of fall and get a jump start on holiday shopping at this very fine show.

We’ll be here 10:00 to 4:00 each day.

The Island Arts Association was formed in 1975 by a group of Mount Desert Island artisans, with the idea of promoting individual local craftspeople by hosting group shows. Many artists work alone in their studios, and these shows provide camaraderie, marketing ideas and exposure to new customers. Fair fees are kept low to encourage those just starting out. The IAA is hosted by the YWCA of MDI, whose mission includes empowering women through business opportunities.
