EVENT Info

We are proud to support our community and proceeds from admission fees have been donated to the following charities:

The Peterborough Guild of Arts & Crafts was formed in 1975 and will be celebrating its 47th show in 2024. The Guild was founded by a group of artisans who made items by hand, and that is how the name, 'The Hand of Man Art & Craft Sale' came to be. 

​As the popularity of the show grew, so did the artisans, making this the largest and longest-running yearly art & craft sale in Peterborough and the surrounding area.

Because of the wide variety of products offered for sale, the show is a must-see destination for people not only from the Peterborough area but for many out-of-town people. ​

We are a juried show and all applications are considered by the high quality products they offer and will be juried accordingly by category.​

cHARITIES

​ The Guild's goal is to provide the public with a sale of quality, handcrafted items designed, created, and produced by the exhibitor. The Guild is a non-profit organization that donates to charities on a yearly basis. The charities chosen are geared toward people in need, and we have been giving to local charities since 1975.
