Concord, NH – Fairy Tales & Fantasies, a fine craft exhibition presented by the League of NH Craftsmen showcases surprising new work from our juried members influenced by their personal take on this whimsical theme. The exhibition is open to the public from April 6th to June 15th in the Exhibition Gallery at the League of NH Craftsmen Headquarters, 49 South Main Street in Concord, NH.  The Gallery is open Monday – Saturday, 10am to 4pm during exhibitions.

Meet participating exhibitors of Fairy Tales & Fantasies during the opening reception, Friday, April 6th from 5 – 7pm. This reception is held in conjunction with the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association and their exhibition Looking Back: Vintage Works, which is on display across the hall from the League in their Gallery.

“Each piece in this exhibition tells a distinct story drawn from the imagination of the craftsperson,” explains League Standards Manager Catherine Green. “Fairy Tales & Fantasies is an opportunity for gallery visitors to enjoy the unexpected, and our juried members to explore their own interpretation of the theme.”

The Grodin Permanent Collection Museum

Along with the Fairy Tales & Fantasies exhibition, visitors can also enjoy the fine craft displayed in the League’s Grodin Permanent Collection Museum. The Permanent Collection features craft from the League’s early years to the present, including pieces made by some of the world’s renowned craftspeople, such as Otto and Vivika Heino and Edwin and Mary Scheier.
