Apply to Fall shows below including Art in Strathcona Park!

​​

The National Capital Artisans hosts craft shows every year in the spring and fall seasons.

These craft shows are well attended by the community and have been for years. They have gained a solid reputation as events not to be missed. Any artisan who creates handcrafted items, whether a member of the NCA or not, can participate in these shows. 

​

National Capital Artisans (NCA) is excited to announce its collaboration with the Mental Illness Caregivers’ Association (MICA) to ensure the continuation of Art in Strathcona Park event. The annual outdoor event, held in Strathcona Park by the Rideau River, has served as a major fundraiser in support of those who care for individuals with mental illness.  After many successful years, MICA has faced challenges that prevent them from continuing to organize the event. The NCA Executive, recognizing the value of this important initiative, has stepped in to support and carry it forward, ensuring that MICA’s mission continues to thrive for the benefit of our shared community.
Art in Stratchcona Park outdoor market will take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at
Strathcona Park (25 Range Rd, by the Rideau River).
