Ocean State Artisans was founded in 1988 to provide opportunities for local artisans to network with fellow artisans, to provide education for the community about the arts and crafts industry, and to provide its members with opportunities to showcase their work.

Membership is open to residents of Rhode Island, as well as those who live within 25 miles of the state's boundaries.

Ocean State Artisans is well know for our Holiday Craft Festival at the CCRI Knight Campus in Warwick, Rhode Island on Thanksgiving Weekend.

Our website also features some of our talented craftspeople on our directory page.  If you are looking for a unique, made in Rhode Island treasure, check it out!
