EVENT Info

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

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

The Hand of Man Art & Craft Sale is held every last full weekend in October at the Morrow Building in Peterborough, Ontario.

​ 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.

Drawing on her Newfoundland background, Lori Bartlett crafts

one-of-a-kind colourful art using acrylic paint in her home studio in Wooler, Ontario. Each work of art is handcrafted by Lori using different techniques, including dot painting, folk-art painting and acrylic paint pouring. Upcycling materials wherever possible,

her unique art is created on rocks, ceramic tiles, canvas, wood

and other media. Lori’s intent for her creations is to bring more colour and joy into the world, and she hopes that her art brings

a smile to the faces of those who see it.
