GRF Arts & Crafts Festival Sign-Ups

Leisure World’s most colorful community tradition is back: sign-ups for the 55th Annual Arts & Crafts Festival will begin Wednesday, Oct. 8, starting at 7 a.m. in Clubhouse 2. Spaces disappear fast every year, so eager artisans are encouraged to come early and claim their spot before it sells out.

The Arts & Crafts Festival is a celebration of imagination and craftsmanship, showcasing the handmade talents of Leisure World Seal Beach members. From jewelry and hand-thrown ceramics to textiles, fine art, woodwork and home décor, the festival is a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind creations.

In keeping with Golden Rain Policy 1481, every piece must be made by the exhibitor, ensuring that shoppers enjoy an authentic collection of resident artistry.

Tables are available for $10, which includes one 8-foot table and two chairs.

Exhibitors may also share a table for $5 each. Sign-ups will continue until every table is spoken for.

This year’s festival will take place in Clubhouse 2 on Friday, Nov. 7, and Saturday, Nov. 8. Residents and guests are welcome to attend.
