Art by the River

Art by the River Love art? Join unique artists & artisans at Essex County’s original arts and crafts festival 10am-5 pm, Aug 28th & 29th, 2027, our 60th anniversary.

The first outdoor exhibition was held on the grounds of Fort Malden NHSC August 1967 as a Centennial event. It has become an end of summer tradition and is still held the end of August each summer. It has grown from 50 vendors to over 170 artists & artisans participating. Through the funds raised here, the Gallery is able to maintain and preserve its heritage building.

Exhibitor highlight! Ladybird Ceramics is a family run business where each piece is hand painted from the first brush stroke to the final detail. When painting she likes to imagine where each piece might end up, tea with a friend or maybe a birthday cake on a cake platter and hopes that years from now her pieces are still being used. Shop everyday moments with Ladybird Ceramics at Art by the River this weekend.
