If you are a fine artist or craft artisan living in the Pennsylvania Wilds region you are encourage to apply to be part of the PA Wilds Artisan Trail. 

Likewise, shops, restaurants, lodges, galleries, visitor centers and other retailers in the region who currently sell or are interested in selling handcrafted items by PA Wilds Juried Artisans and promoting their business utilizing the PA Wilds brand, should apply to become a trail partner. Jury sessions are held twice a year – in the fall and spring. 

Applications currently being accepted until December 13.

With nearly one hundred artists and over thirty trail partners, this program continues to grow and raise visibility and profitability of artisans and arts-related businesses in the PA Wilds. PA Wilds does this by helping arts related businesses increase sales and command higher pricing through the use of the “Proudly Made in the Pennsylvania Wilds” brand and getting more of these items to market through retail partners in our region.

A key benefit to joining the PA Wilds Artisan Trail is the ability to advertise under the PA Wilds Artisan Trail brand, and benefit from its strong online and social media presence as well as print materials to help artisans more easily market their products to residents, visitors, design professionals and the like.

Visual artists, craft artisans, jewelry designers, furniture, glass and metal designers are all welcome to apply. 

This is a great time to join this program, as we are currently working on a series of upgrades that will increase its reach even further. Some of these upgrades include a mobile app and new website.
