Benefitting Berkeley’s KPFA 94.1 public radio.

The 2019 fair will be held at the Craneway Pavilion December 21 & 22, 10am - 5pm both days.

The Craneway Craft Fair is the premier Bay Area holiday craft fair benefiting KPFA 94.1 FM Public Radio – a juried selection of affordable art, crafts and gifts created and presented by over 200 exhibitors. Previously known as the KPFA Crafts Fair, the Craneway Craft Fair takes place once a year and presents a remarkable array of holiday gift options for people of all ages. The Fair showcases established and emerging talents in contemporary art and craft; innovative designers who produce one-of-a-kind, handmade and limited edition goods in a wide variety of media. These exhibitors combine new and traditional techniques with modern design aesthetics to produce appealingly fresh and innovative work. KPFA Radio has a reputation for embracing diversity and supporting local communities through its programming. Similar principles of discernment apply in the selection process of exhibitors for the Craneway Craft Fair. The fair prioritizes a uniqueness of style, a high level of artisanship, craftwork created in studio (the artist/exhibitor must have an active hand in the making of their work), while trying to represent as much variety as possible. Live music will entertain visitors throughout the weekend. Food concessions will offer an enticing range of lunch options, coffees and pastries, as well as beer and wine in the large food court. TRANSPORTATION / PARKING: The Craneway Pavilion is 10 minutes by car from Berkeley, 5 minutes from the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge. It’s accessible by public transit via BART and AC Transit. There will be a free shuttle from Richmond BART station during all hours of the fair on both days. It sits on the pedestrian and bike-friendly Bay Trail. There are over 1200 secure FREE parking spaces and much more parking around the Craneway. Bike parking will be available.
