The Artisan Fair & Exhibit was established in 2006, in celebration of Comité Noviembre's, 20th anniversary. Over 40 artesanos puertorriqueños from throughout the US and Puerto Rico participated and the event boasted an attendance of over 5000 people in this very first Fair.
For the past two years, CN has transformed, Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture at Hostos Community College into a typical Puerto Rican plaza with a fountain, palm trees, piragua and coquito carts and artists, sculptors, vejigante mask makers promoting and selling their crafts while musical and cultural acts entertained throughout the day. This year will be no different at Hostos. CN will also continue to conduct cultural workshops for children and adults, like mask making, the history of the three kings' celebration, Taíno storytelling in order to make sure that our youth learn about our culture.
An expanded exhibition area will showcase family research and Puerto Rican memorabilia collectors.
This FREE Fair is an opportunity to kick-off the holiday shopping season by supporting our artesanos.
