Now in it’s 30th year, The Women’s Building
Celebration of Craftswomen offers a unique opportunity to
find gorgeous, one-of-a-kind holiday gifts, fine crafts,
and contemporary art all by women. The show features the
work of 300 female artists - 150 different artists each
weekend.
The Celebration of Craftswomen will be held
from 10-5 on two weekends: Nov. 29-30 & Dec. 6-7, 2007.
Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and students,
and free for children under 12. A two-day pass that can
be used any two of the four days is $14.
The Fort Mason Herbst Pavilion is located
at Buchanan Street and Marina Blvd. Parking with shuttle
service is available at Marina Middle School, on Bay Street
between Buchanan Street and Webster Street.
This event benefits The Women’s Building,
a multi-cultural community center where women and girls
achieve self-sufficiency and pursue their dreams. Monies
raised though the raffle, admission fees, and booth fees
go to the organization. Programs offered by The Women’s
Building include a free bilingual Spanish/English information
and referral service, educational support for low-income
adults, financial counseling, and community events that
promote arts, culture, and discussion. The first women-owned
community center in the U.S., the Women’s Building
houses ten diverse community groups and has helped launch
more than 160 women’s programs and initiatives in
San Francisco.
