Calling All Artists & Craftsmen and Wineries:

Maker, Jewelry Artist, Potter, Wood-Worker, Textile crafter, especially food crafter, and Wineries,

Jazz, Arts, and Wine Fest is both an indoor and outdoor show. Main level of the Gallery
Building is at our artists’ disposal, as well as the area between the Newport Aquarium and the
Gallery Building for displaying outside.
During the weekend of Friday May 15th, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday May 16th, from
