Craft Fair – 2016

Craft fairs organized by the Trusts are now a fixture in the activities calendar on Mustique. Guests to the island have been delighted with the variety of crafts, art and handmade items displayed. Two very successful fairs were held in March 2016 and August 2015. Over 30 vendors participated at each fair.

Buyers were impressed with the variety of items on display. The vendors welcomed the opportunity to showcase their hand crafted items to the Mustique market and reported that sales were brisk. Banana art, bags and baskets, jewelry, notecards, handmade soaps and beauty products were among the top sellers. This event was a real coming together of the two communities. This not for profit initiative by the Trusts is part of the thrust to provide employment and wealth creation opportunities for artisans in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
