The Bruce Museum’s 37th Annual Outdoor Crafts Festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, May 21 and 22, from 10 am to 5 pm each day. Artisans from New England and the East Coast will travel to the Bruce Museum, bringing with them fine contemporary hand-made crafts in jewelry, wearable and decorative fiber, glass, furniture and housewares, pottery, and more – all available for purchase. Admission to the Museum grounds is “Pay as You Wish” with a suggested donation of $10 per adult. The Festival is free to Museum members and children younger than five years old.
