Noank Foundry Artists are hosting a juried show on December 17 – 18 at the Westerly Armory. Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm,  Sunday 11am-4pm. Artists and crafters are welcome to join them.
This is a professional group and have had a number of shows in Noank for the past several years.

As half the Foundry has been rented, they now plan to have their Christmas show at the Westerly Armory. This will be a juried show but crafters are more than welcome. I hope you can alert the HopArts community to this opportunity. –Mathew Goldman
