The Craft Guild of Nevada County is a member-based organization of craft workers and artists uniting to support each other and to share their talents and knowledge with the community to promote and encourage all levels of artistic expression. Member artists provide public workshops and classes that are designed to include every level of experience at no or low cost to encourage all members of the community to experience the many benefits that creating art provides. The Craft Guild of Nevada County is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that supports many charitable organizations in the community throughout the year. An important facet of the Craft Guild of Nevada County is to provide a platform for local artists to assemble and present their handmade goods to the public for sale. This platform is their main fundraising event entitled The Craft Guild of Nevada County's Winterfaire Craft Show and is held in October annually at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, Ca. Winterfaire has been presented to the public for over forty years, making it the longest-running annual craft fair at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.
