The Craft Center was started in 1995 as an event to showcase and highlight our many talented local artists and craftsmen. The goal is to bring fair visitors a large variety of crafts and products made in the great State of Maine and within the West Oxford Agricultural Society.

The Craft Center is the only juried building on the fairgrounds and requires vendors to apply each year. With no “grandfather” rights, vendors must go through an application process and jury review. Because this event is juried, you can expect the finest merchandise that will fit any budget or expectation. 

All products are handmade by the vendor and/or their immediate employee who man their booths for you to visit with, ask questions and maybe enjoy a live demonstration.

Discover many traditional crafts, some with a modern twist and a couple that may transport you back in time. The Craft Center offers a variety of artists from potters and painters, basket weavers and  woodworkers, jewelers, candlemakers, metalsmiths, glass artists and more. 

Whether you are looking to do a little holiday shopping, indulging yourself or just browsing, stop by the Craft Center and enjoy the experience.
