First & Last Chance 2026

Hello everyone! Details with Mary Winspear for First & Last Chance 2026 are finalized and Applications will be open until show time. We do get the occasional cancellation so make sure to apply if you have an interest in participating. If you apply and your works category is full, I will add you to the waitlist and let you know via email. I am looking to seeing your applications and celebrating 37 years of working with so many talented artists and artisans. 

​

It's going to be an amazing year so please consider joining us for one or both shows; First & Last Chance Christmas Craft Shows will continue as usual as we celebrate another fabulous year. Participating in different shows is a great way to grow your business, network with fellow artists & artisans, and build your clientele.
