“Bringing the artist community together to foster goodwill and great ideas among everyone involved in professional arts and crafts in the Rochester, NY and surrounding area.”
We are a group of art business owners who want to share common experiences, offer encouragement and bounce ideas off each other. We are generally 1-person operations and lots of us have “day jobs” too.
We are located near Rochester, NY. We communicate via email since we are all busy running our businesses. But lots of us have met in person at shows & events!
Members have access to a Shows Sheet – listing lots of area craft shows and art festivals, complete with contact information, fees, etc. We have a file full of show applications, links to credit card processors, tools for running a business. All free.
Our group consists of artists from emerging artists to seasoned veterans, all of whom love to learn and help others and “pay forward” their experiences. Just ask a question, someone is sure to know the answer!
Our membership also includes store owners and show organizers. Everyone is welcome!

Hi Stefani!
Would you add me to the list? You’ve done a great job with this site. Honestly you are doing such a nice thing for all of us with the group and now this – and the spread sheet of shows AND applications. I’m not very active, but without all the help you provide, I wouldn’t have a hope of making it to any shows!
Can you list me under jewelry (the painted wooden beads/necklaces) and some category for the painted furniture I do? Some tables are on my website (www.pamelaframe.com)
Thanks so much!
Pam
Hey Stefani!
I am interested in being added to the list as well. I am a Garden Artisan that specializes in unique creations using Stone, Wood & Water. Myself and several other similar other companies in Rochester have also just started a brand new venture for this spring called Garden Artsians Expo. This venue will have room for as many as 120 spaces for members of your group to be able to exhibit there craft. If you would like more information regarding the March Expo, please contact me at : Kyle.StonewoodandWaters@gmail.com
You can view our work at our web site: http://www.stonewoodandwaters.com
I look forward to getting to know the group, and discovering all the talents within!
Blessings

Hi Kyle – thanks for your note! I just emailed you an invitation to join Rochester Artisans through Yahoo Groups.
Please keep in touch about the Garden Artisans Expo – I’m sure some of our members would be interested in participating.
Thanks!
Stefani
Hi Stefani…..I KNEW the minute I read about the Garden Artisans involved w/ the Garden Show at SouthTown Plaza that YOU had something to do w/ it:)…I’ve had trouble finding any info on line about it!
We were down in Myrtle Beach, when I first saw it on the D & C website (front page…flashing in the top right hand corner).
I’m going to send Kristen a note about it, I think she’d do good w/ her artwork. She has the bowlingballs that she makes, covered w/ her jeweled-tone stones into “gazing balls”!
I’ll send you flyers for Casa larga….You ARE doing it, aren’t you?
Thanks and BEST of luck!

Hey Sharon!
I just laid out the floor plan this evening! It’s really going to be a awesome show! If you or any other artist would like to be involved, there is still some great spaces left..you can find the information you seek at our web site:
http://www.gardenartisansexpo.com
Those who just want to stroll the gardens and check out the vendors, can buy advanced tickets through wegmans.
March 14-17th. Coming quick!
Come on out!

Hi Sharon – you give me too much credit! I was just trying to obtain artisan vendor information that I could pass along to our Rochester Artisans.
Kyle – after Sharon’s note I went to the http://www.gardenartisansexpo.com website for information. Someone needs to reboot the server because, wow, that is one slow website! Secondly – it would great if more information on applying to be a vendor could be provided on the website. Even the price of a space would be beneficial in weeding out those not interested. A link to the application would be outstanding.
So there are spaces still available? Are there spaces for solo artists or are the spaces for “corporate” vendors mostly?
If so, is there an application you could email to me so I could send it our list of artisans in case anyone is interested? We have a number of artists who make garden-related items.
Thanks so much!

I wish I had more involvement with the site, sorry it is not operating more effectively.
To answer your question, yes there are 8×10, 10×10, as well as larger booths available. Anyone looking for information can contact me at Kyle.stonewoodandwaters@gmail.com.
I can forward the vendor details to you.
Blessings
