Wintergold Arts and Crafts Fair returns to Smithers Art Gallery

The Smithers Art Gallery is hosting its Wintergold Arts and Crafts Fair this weekend.

On Friday (November 19) and Saturday (November 20), local vendors will be selling a variety of items for the holiday season.

According to Smithers Art Gallery director Nicole Chernish, this is one of the oldest arts and crafts fairs in Smithers.

She said they were unable to host the event last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s super exciting, we have 21 tables with different vendors, anything you can imagine, so fabulous for your Christmas shopping,” Chernish said.

She also said it was a great way to shop locally.

“You absolutely support the local when you buy from these suppliers. They are all from the area and they have a fabulous job, ”Chernish said.

The event will take place Friday (November 19) from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday (November 20) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
