Art on the Lawn 2023

This year the Amherst History Museum invites local artists and crafters to sell their creations on the lawn of the museum on four Saturdays during our 2023 season. We are seeking artists who work in both traditional, indigenous, historical, and/or contemporary mediums, including fiber, painting, basket-making, spinning, drawing, jewelry, metal, pottery, photography, printmaking, woodworking and paper arts.

All 2-D and 3-D artists in the Amherst region are eligible to participate. We would like each show to reflect the diversity of artists in our region. We encourage artists and crafters of all identities to consider applying.

WHEN: Saturdays: June 10, July 8, September 9, October 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
SHOW HOURS: 11am to 3pm 
SET-UP: 9-11am
