By Hand Has some big news
You built it, now it's yours!

Over the last six years, By Hand, Ltd. has served the artist and art patron communities. It has built two annual festivals (the first of which now ranks among the top 40 art festivals nationally, according to the Art Fair SourceBook) and maintained them through good times and challenges. It pioneered the free admission indoor art festival, and invented a whole new take on digital jurying. It is, however, time to say goodbye to By Hand, Ltd., and hello to the By Hand Artisan Guild - a membership nonprofit. If you have exhibited with us for two out of the last three years, you are already a member, and artists who exhibit with us will automatically become voting members - just by exhibiting, there is no additional membership fee for participating artists! What we become is truly in your hands. So apply, exhibit, get involved, be active. Let's capitalize on the full power of the creative spirit!
