This December, HANDMADE returns to Waterfall Arts for its second year! HANDMADE is an annual exhibit showcasing a curated collection of unique, high-quality handmade goods and artwork by more than 40 indie crafters and alternative artists. HANDMADE will take place from December 1st through 11th in the Clifford Galley.
