Art in North Atttleboro, Mass.

Article by Eric H.
Village Artisans Collaborative, which opened in April 2009, is really a fantastic addition to an already thriving downtown North Attleboro, Mass. Billed as a "An Art Community for Community," Village Artisans features some wonderful local art work, as well as quality crafts. This is not another pretentious store with overly expensive work, stuffy employees and insufferable new age wallpaper music lurking in the background. Rather, Village Artisans focuses on bringing art work to all walks of life, helping improve North Attleboro's strong sense of community with its cultural presence, and just being nice, down-to-earth people dedicated to fine customer service in the process. Isn't that the way all businesses should conduct themselves? Nice to see a new store follow the tenets of good business practice.

Just to let you know, the Village Artisans and the North Attleboro Cultural Council will be hosting a two-day Arts Festival at Veterans Park in downtown North Attleboro on from Sept. 26 -27 from 10am - 4pm. They are looking for all types of artisans and craftsmen to participate in what should be a fantastic event. The cost for a non-member: $50.00 per day/$80.00 both days, member $25.00 per day/$40.00 both days. This is an outdoor show so please note that there will be no overnight security if you choose to participate both days. Fair enough! Applications can be picked up at the Village Artisans shop or by emailing naarts@comcast.net.

We'll be featuring more Village Artisans information and events in the future! We really enjoy and respect the mission of this new store, and think that you will, too!
