2008 Bethel Art Fair

by Julia Reuter last modified July 06, 2008 12:12 PM

Saturday, July 5, 2008 ~ 19th Annual Bethel Art Fair ~ Artists and Artisans all day; fireworks at dusk.

Artists and artisans display and sell their work.

9am - 4pm on the village common.

A great outdoor venue on the village common! 

Artists and artisans from all over the area come to this wonderful event.  Shop for wall-hung art work & paintings, photographs, sculpture, wood working, fine-crafted jewelry, pottery and more.  

The world's tallest SnowWoman, dedicated Feb. 29, was a project that reflected community spirit.  A few pieces of one-of-a-kind art will be sold as a tribute to that accomplishment.

  • Artist Ken Irons created art on the shovels used by volunteers who handled and stomped 13,000,000 pounds of snow used to make the SnowWoman.
  • Also available will be pendant necklaces created by local artisan Jim Mann, who made the world's largest Maine mica pendant to adorn the SnowWoman.
