The ever popular FRANCISCAN FESTIVAL OF FINE ARTS will be here very soon!  If you love spending a fun day at a wonderful arts show, the festival will be held this coming Labor Day weekend, August 31 and September 1 at Holy Cross Retreat Center in Mesilla Park, NM.  There are 80-90 artists participating.  There is a wide variety of juried art - paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography, crosses, clothing / handbags, metal work, quilts, woodwork, leatherwork, and much more - will be available to browse and to buy (make an artist's day!).  Everything for sale has to be made by the artist selling it - no mass produced items allowed!  Music, food, drinks, a silent auction and a raffle are also part of the fun.  I'll be there selling my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS handmade jewelry, outside under a beautiful pine tree.(space C-2).  Be sure to stop by and say "Hi!"

Second Category, Third Item - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade

 

 

 

The Franciscan Festival of Fine Arts at the Holy Cross Retreat Center is this Labor Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday.  The Retreat Center has been operational for 60 years. However, some of the buildings in the compound are over 100 years old. It's so peaceful there and feels like you step back in time, especially when you see Father Tom walking around in his full cassock with a large, wooden rosary tied around his waist, chatting with as many people as he can. The juried festival itself has been held yearly for almost 20 years and is a “go to” festival for local people and the many who might drive from Tucson, Albuquerque or beyond to buy beautiful artisan handcrafted items.  If you are in the Las Cruces, NM or El Paso, TX area, please stop by - I will be selling my jewelry there.  For more information, here is a link:  Franciscan Festival of Fine Arts.
