All Profits to Go to Local Charities
The Morristown CraftMarket, now in its 39th consecutive year as a nationally acclaimed and charitable fine art and craft show featuring 160 gifted artists from over 25 states throughout the country, will be held Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18 at the Morristown Armory, 430 Western Avenue in Morristown, NJ.
The show hours are:
Friday, October 16, 5pm to 9pm;
Saturday, October 17, 10am to 6pm; and
Sunday October 18, 10am to 5pm.
“For nearly four decades, the Morristown CraftMarket has received acclaim as a major cultural and charitable event not only in New Jersey but throughout our nation,” said Show Director Geoffrey Price, a member of the not-for-profit and all-volunteer Kiwanis Club of Randolph Township, NJ which sponsors and runs the Morristown CraftMarket.
“The thousands of patrons who come each year to our show at the Morristown Armory know that we showcase extraordinary, one-of-a-kind and limited edition fine arts and crafts – all made in America by American hands – and that all our profits go to charities.”
The exhibiting artists will display and sell their original and magnificent creations in jewelry, leather, ceramics, metal, glass, wood, furniture, mixed media, wearable fiber and more.

The Morristown CraftMarket will host an Opening Night Reception on Friday, October 16 from 5pm – 9pm. Souvenir glasses will be sold for $10 with two drink tickets redeemable for wine or beer in the Courtyard of the show. The Reception will be open to adults who are at least 21 years old.
