The Peterborough Guild of Arts & Crafts was formed in 1975 and will be celebrating its 47th show in 2024. The Guild was founded by a group of artisans who made items by hand, and that is how the name, 'The Hand of Man Art & Craft Sale' came to be. 

​As the popularity of the show grew, so did the artisans, making this the largest and longest-running yearly art & craft sale in Peterborough and the surrounding area.

Because of the wide variety of products offered for sale, the show is a must-see destination for people not only from the Peterborough area but for many out-of-town people. ​

We are proud to support our community and proceeds from admission fees have been donated to the following charities:

EVENT Info

The Hand of Man Art & Craft Sale is held every last full weekend in October at the Morrow Building in Peterborough, Ontario.

​ The Guild's goal is to provide the public with a sale of quality, handcrafted items designed, created, and produced by the exhibitor. The Guild is a non-profit organization that donates to charities on a yearly basis. The charities chosen are geared toward people in need, and we have been giving to local charities since 1975.

Meet Karen Feeley, a part-time crafter who thrives on the peaceful vibe​ of the countryside. Happiest rambling through the forest and fields, that's where she finds inspiration and ideas. From painted glassware, inspired by wildflowers, to rustic grapevine wreaths decorated in nature themes, Karen will be exhibiting under the name Forestside Farm Creations and she looks forward to seeing you at the show!
