A great resource for finding personal, one-of-a-kind, unique gifts that hold a special meaning—made by hand with love.

“It feels much better to buy something from people who love what they do," says Bethany Nohlgren, committee member. "You can buy all sorts of gifts; no two vendors are exactly alike. We have people who come back year after year, but they always make new things, so there is always something new to find!”

In addition to more than 48 artists, the evening will feature local food, beverages and musical entertainment.

This very special expo will highlight the work that dozens of volunteers are doing to form a Midtown Arts District and this festival marks the fourth year of this progress. Artists will set up their wares on the 1st floor of Ferrovia Studios, the co-host of this year's festival.

The 15,000 square foot building has had former lives as a coat factory, roller rink/bowling alley and an antique restoration business. This building offers a select number of artist's studios, exhibition space, a large ground floor space and two storefronts. Each studio has high ceilings with ample natural light and most of the building’s electricity will be generated by solar power.

Come celebrate the arts and take home with you a small piece of Made In Kingston.

This event is open to the public.
