Artists

Each summer, the Sodus Point Lighthouse & Museum grounds transform into a waterfront showcase for exceptional artists and fine crafters. The Lighthouse Artisan Festival is not just another craft fair — it’s a juried fine arts and crafts event dedicated exclusively to original, high-quality work.

Artists love the intimate historic setting, the steady crowds of engaged collectors, and the stunning backdrop of Lake Ontario and Sodus Bay. With live music, food vendors, and museum tours adding to the atmosphere, it’s a weekend that blends artistry, history, and community.

As an exhibitor, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Showcase your work in a festival that values artistry over mass production.
  • Connect with patrons who come specifically to discover and collect handmade art.
  • Be part of a growing community of makers who return year after year for both the experience and the sales.
