The One & Only Arts and Crafts Fair is organized by members of Sandy Hill’s community association, Action Sandy Hill, and is held each November at the Sandy Hill Community Centre. Funds raised are used to support work in the community by Action Sandy Hill and local youth and arts organizations.
The One & Only volunteer team is back and planning this year’s event, which will take place on Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 10 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. We’d like to offer vendors who have supported the event in the past the chance to pre-register for November using the form at the bottom of this page.
Early bird price paid on or before 17 August 2024: $54.00. Regular price paid after 17 August 2024: $70.00
Payment can be made securely online using the Paypal service (you can use your PayPal account if you have one or use the PayPal service to pay with any credit card) at this link:
We look for unique products that are:
- Hand-made – made by the artisan from scratch, for example: the beads on a necklace are hand-made or come from a unique source.
- Quirky – unusual, interesting, inventive, arty and non-traditional.
- Good-quality – good value for the price.
To avoid disappointment, we encourage vendors to offer for sale some items valued at under $50.00.
(FYI here is the vendor directory for the 2023 event).
