Winter Art Faire 2024!

Art Guild of Pacifica’s Winter Art Faire

The Most Artful Time of the Year

Experience the festive atmosphere and enjoy the creativity of local artists and artisans at the Art Guild of Pacifica’s Winter Art Faire.  The annual holiday art show and sale held at Sanchez Art Center will take place over two days, Saturday, Dec 14 and Sunday, Dec 15, with extended hours of 11 am –5 pm.

Winter Art Faire brings together original art and handmade goods that make unique gifts for the special people in your life (including YOU)!  There will be local artisans selling jewelry, ceramics, stained glass art, sea glass, handmade soaps,jams and baked goods. Artists will be showing pieces in a wide range of sizes and mediums from drawings, photography, watercolor, acrylic and oilpaintings, original prints, mixed media work, and much more.

Artists and artisans will be onsite providing time to talk with them and learn more about their pieces and products.  And, several Sanchez studio artists will also open their doors for you to explore inside.  This is a great opportunity to spend time leisurely wandering the three galleries, open areas and studios, enjoying art made by members of the Art Guild of Pacifica and local craftspeople, while shopping for distinctive items in a casual and welcoming space on the San Mateo County coast.  You will find some real treasures here, so make Winter Art Faire a gift-buying stop, and enjoy artful holidays!

Sanchez Art Center is located only a little over a mile east from Highway One, at 1220 Linda Mar Blvd, Pacifica.  Free parking in the lot or on the street.  No admission fee.
