Artists & Makers, join us for our annual festive holiday faire and share your creations!  In addition to our two day faire, this year there will be fireworks after dark by the Virginia City Tourism Commission.  Our location is truly epic for viewing the fireworks and this night will be magical with the holiday decorations and festive spirits.  Rent one of our discounted guest rooms and enjoy this special combination of festivities with your fellow artists.

We provide the 60"x30" tables (no outside tables, please), 2 chairs, and a light lunch (those with dietary restrictions must let us know in advance, we will do our best to accommodate within our means). We have a limited number of tablecloths, so please plan to bring your own.

 

Submit your examples of your work and application to us as soon as possible, but no later than November 21st, 2025. Table Fees cover both days (single day table fees are not available).  Artists are limited to 2 tables per artist to achieve maximum diversity of offerings during the faire, unless we have cancelations and redistribute.
